Enjoy Kyoto's matcha with parfait! "Kyo Hayashiya Kyototen"

"Kyo Hayashiya Kyototen" is a restaurant where you can experience "real tea", including matcha parfait, which has many fans. We will introduce its charm in detail.

From Sanjo to Tako Yakushi Fuya-cho! The store has been renovated with a fresh new look.

"Kyo Hayashiya Kyototen", which was relocated and renewed from Sanjō to Tako Yakushi Fuya-cho, is a well-developed tea culture through the sale of tea, as well as cafes.

The shop has a simple design that gives you a sense of the Japanese style of Kyoto. The color of the earthen wall remains, and the rounded counter gives a soft impression.

In the first-floor goods sales corner, Kyo Hayashiya and boasting tea are slurped. Of particular attention is this "Hajimari no Ocha". "Bohojicha", which has a very rich aroma compared to general hojicha, seems to be a popular tea in Kanazawa, the roots of Kyo Hayashiya. In addition, "Sencha", which focuses on the hand-fir method established by Nagatani Soen in the late Edo period, is a finished finish where you can enjoy the original umami and sweetness of tea leaves.

The cafe on the second floor is spacious with 34 seats. This is also a simple Japanese design, so you can relax and have a tea time.♪

Popular matcha parfait is a must-eat! Meal menu using specialty matcha sweets & tea

Speaking of Kyo Hayashiya specialty, it is matcha sweets. The fifth generation, Shinichiro Hayashiya, offered a variety of matcha sweets using high-grade matcha that was only served at the tea ceremony of the tea ceremony until then, "so that you can enjoy more matcha." even at the reopened Kyotoen, you can enjoy matcha sweets, which are carefully selected for handmade, cherishing the tradition of Kyo Hayashiya.

Kyo Hayashiya's specialty, "Ganso Matcha Parfait", is a revival of the style once served in the Sanjo cafe. Faithfully recreating the menu of the time, the parfait has already captivated the minds of matcha-lover and parfait-lover.

The composition is simple but excellent in quality, such as matcha jelly, elegant sweetness matcha ice cream, and matcha soft, which marvel at the rich aroma of matcha. It is also retro and lovely to keep bananas and pineapples alive.♪In addition to matcha parfait, the Kyoto store offers three types of limited-edition parfait, "Hayashiya Parfait Anmitsu" 1980 yen (single item) and "Baisen Hojicha Parfait" 1815 yen (single item).

This "Matcha Warabi Mochi Anmitsu" is also a matcha sweet that has been often ordered since the cafe days in Sanjo. Warabi mochi, which are also popular in goods sales, use three types of honwarabi flour based on recipes passed down from generation to generation. The warabi mochi carefully prepared by skilled craftsmen have good softness and good throat, and they are very compatible with anmitsu!

In addition to matcha sweets, we also offer three types of meal menus using tea leaves. The unique "Kyochahan", which incorporates tea leaves into roasted rice, is a mixture of rice cooked with hojicha and tea leaves fried in soy sauce. The subtle aroma and umami of tea complements the taste of tea rice, and the taste is simple but deep. Cheek with pickled Takana with crispy texture will also improve the taste!

For souvenirs, creamy texture "matcha kuzuneri" & fluffy "Momotose mochi"

Even at home, I want to taste Kyo Hayashiya's matcha sweets! For those who say, use "Matcha-kuzuneri" and "Momotose mochi" as souvenirs on sale at the first-floor goods sales corner. The Japanese-style confectionery, which is prepared by artisans every morning using a special piece of stone-ground matcha, has a unique texture that has a beautiful green original with a glossy matcha. It is a fine matcha sweet that gives you a sense of the youthfulness and elegant bittersweetness of the fine matcha "matsu no Yowai".

This is "Momotose mochi", which is said to have been popular since the days when Kyo Hayashiya was based in Kanazawa. The fluffy texture of the elastic rice cake dough, the flavor of matcha tea and black bean kinako, and the flavor of walnuts and brown sugar are accented to make you feel happy.
