Saryo TSUJIRI (Kyoto Uji Matcha dessert cafe)

Saryo TSUJIRI (Kyoto Uji Matcha dessert cafe)

TSUJIRI is 155-year-old Japanese traditional tea brand. There is a main store in Gion, Kyoto.
Tsujiri Cafe is in Kyoto and Tokyo. There are plenty of Uji matcha and dessert menu. Among them, the parfait made with good quality Uji matcha is very popular.
(Matcha : powdered green tea)
Matcha dessert can be eaten anywhere in Japan, but I think that this cafe is the best.
The other day, I went to Saryo Tsujiri in Daimaru department store at Tokyo Station and ordered "Special Tsujiri Parfait".

From above...Matcha soft cream, Matcha jelly, Matcha castella (cake), Chestnut, rice-flour dumplings, Bean paste, Matcha bracken-starch pastry, Matcha Ice Cream, Vanilla Ice Cream, Matcha Jelly

I enjoyed all of them. Matcha was very rich and delicious.

In the store, not only the tea of Kyoto Uji, Matcha flavored sweets (chocolate, rice cracker, candy, cookie, castella...) are also sold. These are also very delicious so it is recommended.

Menu is different from Japanese cafe, but it seems there are branches other than Japan.

Cafe AALIYA is near the intersection of Shinjuku 3-chome, Tokyo. The specialty is French toast. It is a very famous and popular cafe. Because the workplace is near, I visit several times a month. It's one of my favorite cafe. This time I ordered "French toast plate".

French toast with whipped cream and cinnamon powder, vegetable and chicken soup, iced tea

French toast was like a pancake with fluffy texture, it was a delicious French toast with sweet taste.
The soup was also very tasty. Soup is for lunch time only.
I can not make such a fluffy French toast by myself.
If you want to eat delicious French toast in Japan, I recommend this cafe. Please try it if you like.
