Hello, it’s me! Sayaka!

Today I am writing about traditional Japanese Green Tea shop.

The shop’s name is “Tsujirihei” and I guess it is the most famous green tea(Matcha) shop for not only Japanese but also for foreigners in Japan.

“Tsujirihei” has really long and modest history – the very first shop had opened in 1860!

The head shop is in Uji-city, Kyoto.

If you try to go from Kyoto Station, take JR line train and stop at Uji Station. It is the most convenient way to get there from around Kyoto Station. It takes 5 or 6mins by walk from the nearest station, Uji Station to the shop.

At that time, I ordered a cup of hot Matcha Espresso and small Kakigori(shaved ice) set. The Kakigori set, we can enjoy taste comparison – Uji-green-tea, roasted green tea, and brown rice tea. Each flavor has big size of it, too.
