Following the last time,

I will introduce some reliable shop and souvenirs in Kyoto.


This week, I introduce a long-established Japanese tea shop, Ryuo-en Chaho as the last of souvenir series of this year.


This shop is very famous for Matcha. But not only that, green tea, hojicha (roasted tea), and bancha (coarse tea) are also really delicious.



These are not fallen leaves on the roadside, but bancha (coarse tea) leaves.

How to make bancha: you boil these tea leaves with kettle etc. for about 1 minute, immediately remove only tea leaves and wait for 10 minutes.


The coarse tea with splendid fragrance was done.



As soon as you go to the shop, you will be served a delicious green tea.

This time, I introduced coarse tea, but the mellowness of green tea and the fragrance of hoji tea are also wonderful.


I recommend it with confidence as a souvenir of Kyoto!
