What It Looked Like on Opening Day
There were congratulatory flowers outside the shop, and people passing by were stopping to take a look.
It says “Premium Uji Matcha Shop” ♪
This soft-serve ice cream display is in a matcha color. Pretty unusual, right!? It’s cute enough to make you want to take a commemorative photo.
There was a standing menu sign out front. It looks like they sell Japanese sweets, soft-serve, and drinks.
We Got a Look Inside
Here’s what the inside looks like. The lighting is stylish ✨
There are seats with red cloth that give off a traditional “chaya” teahouse feel. Looks like you can eat in, too.
The display case is lined with all kinds of matcha sweets 😃
Apparently, the products at “Kyojuan Tomoe” use a premium matcha brand called “Sakata Matabei”.
When it comes to Japanese sweets, dango are a must 🍡
They have four kinds: matcha dango, white dango, kinako bean paste, and matcha bean paste.
This is “Kuzu Warabi.” What kind of texture does it have? I’m curious 😍
They also have a luxurious “dorayaki” filled with matcha kinako bean paste.
This one is called “Monaffle”, with matcha bean paste sandwiched between monaka wafers.
They also have “financiers” made with matcha dough mixed with black soybeans 😋
Could these be cookies?
We Tried the Parfait
Tomoe Special Parfait Large Miyako 1,296 yen (tax included)
It’s basically an “everything-on-it parfait”, topped with dorayaki, matcha soft-serve, dango, and kuzu warabi 😆
Matcha lovers won’t be able to resist this 😆
Apparently, you can even eat the spoon-shaped monaka part. I thought it was a wooden spoon.
They also seem to offer complimentary hojicha 😉

Lastly
By the way, the shop’s recommended item seems to be the dango skewers. Even though it says “premium,” the prices didn’t look especially high. If you’re curious, why not stop by?
