Hyakuyo-tei 百余亭お抹茶 (Ueda)

Amazake flavour. Sweet, icy and milky.

Moving on to the Usucha, I was greeted by a small but vibrant plum, adding a delightful sourness to the mix. Sipping the comforting foamy tea was an absolute pleasure. Despite the addition of more water to create a lighter tea, the taste remained uncompromised.

Authentic tea house run by an elderly couple, tucked away in a cozy spot behind Ueda Castle Ruin. No tea ceremony required here, just pure enjoyment of Matcha in its truest form. I opted for the Koicha (Thick Tea) and Usucha (Thin Tea) Set, accompanied by a delightful Gelato (¥1400), and it was a matcha-made-in-heaven experience.

First, I savoured the omogashi, a traditional sweet treat, before diving into the Matcha. The Koicha was an absolute revelation – incredibly smooth, with just the right amount of bitterness and none of that powdery texture. The whisking technique employed by the tea house was truly remarkable.

Moving on to the Usucha, I was greeted by a small but vibrant plum, adding a delightful sourness to the mix. Sipping the comforting foamy tea was an absolute pleasure. Despite the addition of more water to create a lighter tea, the taste remained uncompromised.

If you're a Matcha fan, a visit to this tea house is a must.
