Kyoto Matcha Shops 🍵

1️⃣ Nakamura Tokichi Honten Right outside Uji Station on the JR Line, you'll spot this century-old shop. I recommend avoiding peak dining hours. If you dine in, the matcha soba noodles are a must-try! 🍜 Even if you don't dine in, you can still buy matcha souvenirs like white jade dumplings 🍡, which are tax-free. 🌿 2️⃣ Byodo-in Omotesando This street is lined with various matcha shops. You don't need to stress over which one to choose—they're all delicious! Try matcha ice cream 🍦, matcha soba noodles 🍜, matcha dumplings 🥟... Even with eight hundred stomachs, you wouldn't be able to finish everything in one go! So just pick whatever catches your eye. 🌿 3️⃣ Starbucks Byodo-in Omotesando Store A courtyard 🏡 Starbucks that blends local characteristics, even the coffee is matcha-based 🍵! #Kyoto 🌺
