This time, we would like to introduce matcha green tea sweets available at a lovely machiya (townhouse) café located in the old townscape of Takayama!
Hida Takayama Saryo Sanba, located on Sanmachi Street, opened in 2018 to promote the Japanese culture of tea. In the restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere, located in a machiya (townhouse) on the site of the former residence of Mr. Yakai, who served as a town elder in the Edo period, you can enjoy a carefully selected menu of meals, sweets, and drinks that take advantage of the bittersweet taste of high-quality tea in tatami rooms, private rooms, or on the terrace.
This power...! It's a huge volume!
A must-try in summer is the "Matcha Espuma Shaved Ice. First of all, the appearance is amazing! The espuma covering the fluffy ice is THE matcha, with a rich flavor and moderate sweetness. It was just the right amount of sweetness when eaten with the matcha syrup that came as part of the set and the anko (sweet bean paste) and shiratama (white bean curd) on a separate plate. What made me most happy was the salted kelp served on the side. The size of the shaved ice was quite large, so I wasn't sure if I would be able to finish it, but by picking up the salted kelp on the way, the salty taste reset the sweetness in my mouth and I was able to enjoy it to the end.
Another recommended item is the "green tea mont blanc. The tart dough and ice cream are topped with a generous amount of homemade green tea bean paste, and this is another dish where you can enjoy the rich green tea flavor. In addition to matcha, shaved ice and mont blanc are also available in hojicha (roasted green tea) flavors, and in spring, Sakura mont blanc, with its pretty pink color, was also available, so be sure to check out the seasonal menu!
There are many restaurants in the old streets that are perfect for eating and walking, but there are also many stylish machiya cafes where you can relax and unwind. When you are tired of walking, why not stop by and enjoy the delicious sweets in a retro atmosphere?
