Floral Desserts in Kyoto! Itoh Kyuemon's Uji Matcha and Hydrangea Festival

Uji Matcha and Hydrangea Festival 2024 at Itoh Kyuemon

Kyoto's renowned matcha green tea specialty shop Itoh Kyuemon is offering a limited-time special line-up of hydrangea-themed sweets and treats. This allows everyone to not only appreciate the beauty of hydrangeas but also taste the seasonal delights with their sense of taste.

Hydrangea Parfait
Itoh Kyuemon introduced its hydrangea-inspired desserts 12 ago. The photos of the beautiful and delicate sweets leave viewers in awe!

The layers of the parfaits are topped with hydrangea-colored jelly, exuding a translucent hue that conveys a hint of refreshing early summer vibes. The top layer features matcha cookies adorned with blueberries, which resemble raindrops on leaves during the rainy season, presenting a full sense of the season.

Hydrangea Tea Gathering
This year, they have also introduced new creations such as the Hydrangea Matcha Ice Cream Bar and a set menu named Hydrangea Tea Gathering that includes a Hydrangea Parfait, a seasonal Japanese confection, and a bowl of matcha green tea.

They also offer Hydrangea Cheesecake, Japanese sweets inspired by hydrangeas, matcha hydrangea popsicles, and more.

Hydrangea Mini Parfait
To indulge in these delicacies, visit Itoh Kyuemon's main store in Uji, their JR Uji Station store, or the Itoh Kyuemon Gion Shijo store in Kyoto.

Please note that each store offers slightly different products. For more details, please refer to the information below. These seasonal limited desserts are expected to be available for sale until late June. Missing out might mean you have to wait another year!
