Dignity reminiscent of "Kimono beauty". "New edo matcha shortcake" that promises the best kid

Matcha shortcake with a beautiful vivid cross section reminiscent of kimono layering. The sponge is made from two types of specially made dough, made by mixing Wasanbon sugar and matcha, based on “brown rice eggs” made by chickens grown on unpolished brown rice. A smooth almond milk cream and gentle sweet soy milk white ganache are sandwiched between the mouths to enhance the scent of the rich Uji matcha custard cream that plays a leading role. Aogashima’s “Hingy’s salt” is used to add black honey bean paste and black honey jelly and sticky white balls. The fresh lychee is a refreshing accent and you can enjoy it without getting tired until the end. The top is gorgeously finished with macaron of matcha.

A happy surprise every time you eat! "New edo matcha roll" with a variety of flavors

Beautiful roll cake wrapped in rich Uji matcha cream in pure white roll dough using hotel original “brown rice egg”. A long-established “Funabashiya” founded in 1805, a long-established company, “Funabashiya”, uses lactobacillus “Kuzumochi Lactobacillus®” derived from squid mochi, and uses a smooth-flavored matcha agar, “Hingyu no salt” for a refreshing taste. Wrapped black honey bean paste, soy milk white ganache, sticky white balls, and fresh lychee. It is a Japanese-Western eclectic sweet with a lot of surprises that you will encounter new textures and tastes as you eat.
