Gion Tsujiri's New Matcha Dessert Experience at Tokyo Skytree

On October 24, 2025, Gion Tsujiri, a revered tea brand established in Kyoto in 1860, will launch a renewed Tokyo Skytree Store located in the Solamachi shopping complex. In celebration of this revival, the store is introducing a delightful new selection of matcha sweets called "Choi Tabe Nihoncha Sweets" aimed at providing visitors with a unique tasting experience while enjoying the stunning views from the Skytree.

The new menu will feature several exciting options alongside the popular "Tree Soft," which has been a hit since the store's opening in 2012. This latest range of sweets retains the authentic flavors of Kyoto's Gion district, allowing guests to indulge in a true taste of Japanese culture.
