Matcha Curry: A Unique Culinary Experience

Matcha Curry: A Unique Culinary Experience

Itohkyuemon is a long-established tea shop that was founded in the late Edo period. They continue to produce their unique teas in Uji City, following the traditions of the Ito family’s tea gardens. Beyond matcha, they offer a wide array of matcha-based sweets and traditional Japanese confections, making their products ideal Kyoto souvenirs!

The Buzz Around "Uji Matcha Curry"

One of Itohkyuemon's standout offerings is the "Uji Matcha Curry." You might wonder how a tea shop famous for matcha sweets ventured into curry, but this intriguing collaboration has become a sensation on social media. At one point, it was so popular that it sold out frequently. Nowadays, it’s readily available, even at their Kyoto Station store.

What About the Taste?

So, what does it taste like? The curry sauce's deep green hue might seem a bit unconventional at first glance. However, it's packed with surprisingly large chunks of ingredients for a ready-made curry, which is a definite plus.

When you taste it, the texture is unmistakably that of curry, followed by a subtle bitterness from the matcha. The spiciness of the curry and the slight bitterness of the matcha blend perfectly, creating a unique and delightful flavor. I enjoyed it with plain white rice, but it would also pair well with naan, much like Indian curry accompaniments. This curry is a truly unique dish that you won't find anywhere else!

Try Itohkyuemon's Uji Matcha Curry for yourself. Its distinctive taste is sure to surprise and delight you.

Matsuyamachisuji(松屋町筋)

イメージ
Matsuyamachisuji is a roughly 1 km-long north-south street in Osaka Ward, renowned for its over 100 wholesale and specialty stores that sell Japanese dolls (such as hina ningyo), toys, candy, and Japanese paper. Locally, Matsuyamachi is pronounced "Matchamachi," earning it the nickname "Gotchamachi." This nickname ("gotcha" means jumble) reflects how Osakans traditionally viewed Matsuyamachi as a place to find goods for every occasion. Before May, the street would be bustling with people buying gogatsu ningyo (dolls for the Boys' Festival in May). After that, Matsuyamachi stocks up on summer merchandise like fireworks and swimming rings, preparing for the next wave of customers. Recently, the street has been attracting younger visitors who are drawn to the old-fashioned terraced houses that still stand in the area I specialize in creating unique and personalized tours tailored to the individual preferences and interests of travelers.

This delightful snack brings together a few beloved elements of Japanese cuisine in a unique and delicious way.

The whole creation is then drizzled with tangy sauce and creamy mayonnaise, creating an irresistible blend of flavors and textures. For an extra twist, you can even add melted cheese and a fried egg on top. So, why not treat yourself to this Osaka specialty when you visit?

Exploring Local Life with the Tram

Exploring Local Life with the Tram One of the best ways to experience local life is by taking the tram. Starting from a busy street, the tram winds its way through the charming old town areas, eventually reaching the famous Sumiyoshi Shrine, a popular destination for tourists. However, many tourists miss out on the unique experience of the old town by not getting off the tram. If you want a glimpse into the daily lives of local people, make sure to hop off and explore these areas. While the old town might not be a typical tourist spot, it offers a delightful atmosphere for a leisurely stroll. Here, you can find cozy local restaurants, bustling market streets, and charming old houses. The relaxed ambiance of the old town provides a perfect backdrop for a pleasant walk and a deeper connection with the local culture. So, let’s take a tram ride and discover the hidden gems of the old town! Enjoy the journey and happy exploring! For inquiries and bookings for the
