Four types of “Uji matcha x shaved ice”! A new menu item “Uji Matcha Parfait Ice” from Kyuemon Ito, Kyoto!

2020.07.04

Established in the latter half of Edo, Kyuemon Ito, Uji, Kyoto, started offering new menu “Uji Matcha Parfait Ice” from June 29 (Monday).

This year, four types of “Uji matcha x shaved ice” will be introduced. The new menu “Uji Matcha Parfait Ice” is a shaved ice image of a Matcha parfait based on seasoned ice that mixes green tea and milk. By adding ingredients such as white balls, red bean paste, ice cream and matcha jelly, you can feel the variety of taste and texture of the ingredients.

Also, “Uji Matcha Daifuku Ice”, which appeared last year, has been renewed. I used cream as a custard base and had Matcha Daifuku in the ice. In addition, the standard “Uji Kintoki” will change the type of ice depending on the store, the Uji main store will offer crispy and nostalgic ice, and the JR Uji Ekimae store & Gion Shijo store will offer fluffy ice. Enjoy four types of “Uji matcha x shaved ice” that you can only do at a teahouse.

■History of Kyuemon Ito
In the late Edo period, in the 3rd year of Tempo, the first generation of Ito Tsuneemon and Takikura started the tea industry at Tahara Village Namura (now Uji Tahara Minami).
After that, the second generation Ito Tsuneemon/Kusaburo, the third generation Ito Tsuneemon/Yumatsu, and the fourth generation Ito Takichi have been handed down from generation to generation. In 1952, the fifth generation, Hisazo Ito, moved from Ujitawara to the Uji area and set up a Uji tea sales shop at Renji Uji (now Omotesando, Byodoin Temple).

In the same year, upon the founding of the company, we honored the name of Jouemon Ito, who has been inherited for generations. .. In Ujitawara, where it was founded, we continue to make tea in the tea garden that has been inherited by the Ito family for generations.

[Hoshinoya Tokyo] “New Year’s Kabuki Stay” brings the hospitality of an Edo Period theatrical teahouse to the present day.

Hoshinoya Tokyo, a Japanese-style inn located in Otemachi, Tokyo, will again this year host the “New Year Kabuki Stay” program, a two-day and one-night stay from January 5 to 26, 2024.
For people living in Edo, one of their New Year’s pleasures was to watch Kabuki, and it was a chic way to spend the New Year. Theatrical teahouses supported this way of enjoying Kabuki. In addition to arranging tickets to the theater, the teahouses delighted patrons by providing a complete range of services, including plot notes, tea, sweets, makunouchi box lunches, and snacks and drinks (*1). Hoshinoya Tokyo offers a stay to celebrate the New Year with hospitality similar to the theatrical teahouses of the time.

[Shinjuku Gyoen x Naked] NAKED Autumn Foliage in Shinjuku Gyoen 2023 to be held

From November 22 (Wed) to December 3 (Sun), 2023, an autumn foliage lighting event will be held at Shinjuku Gyoen. Following the cherry blossom event this spring, Shinjuku Gyoen and Naked will collaborate again this fall for the autumn foliage event. Shinjuku Gyoen, one of Tokyo’s most famous gardens, is one of the few places in the city where visitors can enjoy the autumn leaves. The 200-meter-long rows of plane trees, the best maple tree spot in the city, Momijiyama, and the “Middle Pond,” with its spectacular reflection in the pond, will offer a world where the autumn leaves of Shinjuku Gyoen and Naked’s art and food are fused together.
