Matcha Sweets Sawawa — Restaurant in Narita

A must visit if you love everything matcha/Japanese green tea - even the lower price matcha soft serve was really good, will try the more expensive richer grade matcha soft serve today! Matcha mochi & all sorts of matcha desserts, def stop by on the way up to the amazing temple :)

Update - next day, came back and tried the more pricey green tea soft serve, in a cup with two green tea mochi cubes. The soft serve is a deeper green and more intense flavor than the lower priced green tea soft serve. It may come off as a lil bitter in the first few spoons but you soon will appreciate the depth of flavor. The mochi cubes were good but didn’t have the texture I like with the usual mochi balls, these were soft with a gel or jelly...

Matcha Sweets Sawawa Narita specializes in matcha-based sweets and is a must-visit for green tea lovers. The shop offers a wide variety of desserts and snacks made with premium matcha. You can find here:

Matcha Soft Serve Ice Cream – Available in mild and rich flavors. The rich version is especially popular for its deep, slightly bitter taste. We tried it and found it fantastic.

Matcha Warabimochi – Soft, jelly-like mochi dusted with matcha powder. Freshly made and perfect to take away.

Matcha Dorayaki – Japanese-style pancakes filled with red bean paste and matcha cream.

Other treats – Including cookies, cakes, baumkuchen, and seasonal confections – great for gifts or souvenirs.

The shop is open daily from 9:30...

I loved the matcha ice cream here! It was so interesting to watch her prepare it by putting a cup (?) into a machine and pressing it to get the ice cream out! Seems a bit extra, but was great to watch. The ice cream was perfectly bitter from the matcha and sweet as well.

There were also lots of snacks to buy and take home which looked great, but I didnt try...
