Experience Mount Fuji Matcha Kurofuji

A new star is rising in the world of Japanese sweets, celebrated in the heart of Tokyo! Tagonotsuki, renowned for its high-quality treats, is set to debut its popular confection, the Mount Fuji Matcha Kurofuji, at the Tokyo Gift Palette. This highly anticipated launch occurs during a limited-time event from June 17 to June 30, 2026, and marks a significant milestone as they surpass 354,000 units sold since its launch last December.

The Mount Fuji Matcha Kurofuji is inspired by the work of the famous ukiyo-e artist Katsushika Hokusai, particularly his piece "Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji". The treat features a rich matcha cream made from organic matcha sourced from Fuji City, providing a luxurious taste that is both flavorful and authentic. The outer layer is crafted with tea charcoal, creating an impressive visual reminiscent of the rugged summer attractions of Mount Fuji. The contrast between the deep black exterior and vibrant green cream creates both a visual and culinary masterpiece.

As Tagonotsuki makes its inaugural appearance at the Tokyo Gift Palette, they will be showcasing not only the Kurofuji but also other beloved products such as the Tagonotsuki Monaka, a classic sweet that represents the brand, along with their bestseller Fuji-San Top and popular item Kinomi. This pop-up event is a unique opportunity for both locals and visitors to indulge in some of the finest traditional and modern Japanese sweets.

The Mount Fuji Matcha Kurofuji is not just visually appealing but also packed with a delightful matcha flavor that lingers on the palate. Despite its dark, edgy appearance, every bite offers a subtle and refined experience of authentic matcha, embodying the spirit of Japan's beloved mountain.
