抹茶そば、７３５円。特選都路里パフェ、１３６５円。
Matcha soba and Matcha parfait. There is ice underneath the soba, which keeps it cold but also makes it soggy. I have never eaten any matcha soba so green though~. The parfait has so much stuff in it: matcha and vanilla ice-cream, chestnut, tangerine, stick rice balls(white, green tea), matcha castella, matcha jelly, red bean, kanten(vegetable gelatin), and matcha whipped cream on top. The original tea shop is in Gion of Kyoto and I have queued and had the same matcha parfait years ago, which was so fantastic and I never quite forget.

060706 022.jpg抹茶ぜんざいと煎茶（八女の峰）のセット、９００円。果実酒のサービスあり。
Grilled mochi, mochi balls, chestnut and red beans, in green tea. A cafe run by an old couple, very small but nice environment on second floor with big windows, though the sweets taste pretty normal. They sell fruit wine and if you eat there you get a little glass for free…nice treat on a workday. ^^;;

Kintsuba is baked sweet bean paste with a coating of flour and water. I have never seen it before so I was all tourist-mode and taking pictures of the ojisan making it, but apparently it is just a common traditional sweet.

I bought the top two in an event at Seibu and oh my they don’t just look pretty but taste amazing! I went back on the next day and bought more, still very good, and went AGAIN on the following day to buy the last two.
