Introducing new sweets from 2022 from Itohkyuemon, a tea shop in Uji, Kyoto that values the traditions inherited from the Edo period and sends out new values for tea.
Please enjoy the creative sweets of Yoshimoto, a grand chef limited to the Uji main store, at home.
A seasonal Uji tea pannacotta produced by the matcha pastry chef team led by the Grand Chef, who has a workshop in Uji, Kyoto.
We have created a new recipe so that you can enjoy the popular products that were sold exclusively at the Uji main store at home.
1. Matcha
The rich richness of fresh cream and the high-quality bitterness and umami of stone milled matcha are layered. A panna cotta that simply tastes matcha with black beans as an accent.
2. Matcha x Strawberry
The sweet and sour taste of fresh strawberries, the richness of fresh cream, and the bittersweetness of matcha overlap. A panna cotta with an eye-catching bright red color.
3. Matcha x Tropical
A panna cotta with a refreshing acidity that combines mango, pineapple, passion fruit and lime.
4. Roasted green tea
A panna cotta with a gentle sweetness that adds the richness of fresh cream to the fragrant aroma of roasted green tea. The flavor accent is topped with sweetened chestnuts.
5. Roasted green tea x Banana
The rich aroma of roasted green tea is combined with the mellow and rich sweetness of banana. Panna cotta filled with chef’s sensibility.
At the Uji main store, we created seasonal panna cotta such as cherry blossoms, hydrangeas, and oranges, which were well received by our customers.
I hope more people can enjoy such panna cotta at home.
From such a feeling, I devised a new recipe.
Since the ingredients of panna cotta are simple, you can directly feel the deliciousness of Uji tea.
“Uji Panna Cotta” was completed by discovering a combination with unprecedented materials in order to further enhance its deliciousness.
I hope you can feel the new possibilities of Uji tea.

The Hiroshima Museum of Art is hosting the exhibition “ZIPANGU: Contemporary Artists Who Defined the Heisei Era” (November 2, 2024 – December 22, 2024). This showcase brings together works by some of the most prominent figures in Japan’s contemporary art scene, including Yayoi Kusama, Takashi Murakami, Makoto Aida, Yoshitomo Nara, Chiharu Shiota, Izumi Kato, Akira Yamaguchi, and Miwa Komatsu. The exhibition has already garnered significant attention, exceeding 10,000 visitors.
HYAKKEI covered the dialogue between contemporary artist Takashi Murakami and Sueo Mizuma, the curator of this exhibition, held at the RIHGA Royal Hotel Hiroshima. We also conducted an exclusive interview with Mr. Mizuma.
The discussions centered on the aspirations behind the ZIPANGU exhibition and offered forward-looking insights, not only into Japan’s art world but also into the rediscovery of value within Japanese culture by its people.
