You can tell by the color of the shop’s curtains and sign that this store has something to do with green tea. It specializes in matcha green tea sweets, especially on sweets using matcha from Uji. The first floor sells a variety of matcha sweets, and the second floor is a café, which offers a menu that includes warabimochi (bracken starch jelly), parfaits, and anmitsu (a sweet bean paste desert with agar-agar jelly, etc.). They use spring-harvested tea leaves and the grinding is done in a stone mortar right in the store for you to see.

The store's specialty, rich matcha warabimochi, is made using real bracken flour, and the dough is kneaded with matcha. You can choose from fresh warabimochi (rich matcha flavor) or premium warabimochi made with pure bracken flour (matcha flavor or kinako flavor).

They have a wide variety of exclusive matcha sweets such as matcha baumkuchen and tarts made using bamboo charcoal.

Their specialty warabimochi is freshly cut and packed on the spot after receiving an order.
