■ Collaboration between Uji tea and seasonal ingredients. Seasonal tiramisu set

In the popular Ujicha Tiramisu series, new flavors perfect for autumn and winter, Matcha Mont Blanc flavor and Hojicha apple cinnamon flavor, are now available.
An autumn / winter limited tiramisu set realized by researching the combination of ingredients that enhances the taste of tea.

Matcha Mont Blanc / Hojicha Apple Cinnamon

■ A luxurious combination of chestnut and matcha, matcha Mont Blanc flavor

A generous amount of genuine chestnut paste with astringent skin is used. The lower layer of matcha cream has a higher matcha concentration than regular matcha tiramisu so as not to lose the flavor of chestnuts.

In addition, the fresh cream sandwiched between the upper chestnut paste and the lower matcha cream layer smoothes the mouthfeel of the chestnut paste and increases the richness of the entire tiramisu. It has a very rich seasonal taste.

■ Apple's texture and cinnamon scent, roasted green tea apple cinnamon flavor

I mixed a generous amount of dice-cut apple with mascarpone cream. The crispy texture and fruity flavor of apple with a thick texture and the roasted green tea cream in the upper row go well together. In addition, the cinnamon powder sprinkled on the top accentuates the taste.
A highly complete and confident tiramisu with a well-balanced taste.

■ The tea used is only home-grown tea from Wazuka, the main production area of Uji tea.

Of course, only home-grown tea is used. We use carefully selected tea leaves so that you can enjoy the rich and high-quality taste of tea.

d: matcha will grow and sell tea in Wazuka-cho, Kyoto, a tea-producing region that produces about 40% of Uji tea, and will also focus on developing tea sweets to propose new ways to enjoy Uji tea. I have put it in.

Eighty Years After the War: A Reflection on the Preciousness of Ordinary Life YUKIKAZE – In Theaters Nationwide from August 15, 2025

“To Return Alive, To Bring Others Home Alive”

Opening nationwide on August 15, 2025—marking eighty years since the end of World War II—YUKIKAZE is a feature film based on the true story of the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) destroyer Yukikaze, a vessel that rescued countless lives amid the horrors of war. A press screening was held in advance at the Sony Pictures screening room.

The destroyer Yukikaze, which served throughout the Pacific War, was renowned for rescuing numerous sailors thrown into the sea during fierce naval battles, surviving to the end of the war virtually unscathed. It earned the legendary moniker “the lucky ship.” This film brings to life the ship’s heroic journey, alongside the lives of those who persevered through one of the most turbulent eras in modern history.

Leading the cast is Yutaka Takenouchi as Captain Kazutoshi Terasawa—a fictional amalgamation inspired by the real-life captains of Yukikaze. Hiroshi Tamaki portrays Petty Officer First Class Kohei Hayase. Supporting roles are delivered by an ensemble of acclaimed actors including Daiken Okudaira, Rena Tanaka, Kanji Ishimaru, and Toru Masuoka. Kiichi Nakai delivers a commanding performance as Vice Admiral Seiichi Itō, the Second Fleet Commander of the IJN who met his fate aboard the battleship Yamato.

In today’s world, once again shaken by division and violence, YUKIKAZE poses an urgent question to those of us living in the peace that others fought to protect: Are we once again treading the path of past mistakes? As collective memory of the war fades, this film becomes ever more vital—a call to reflect on the true value of peace.
