Kinozen — Restaurant in Tokyo

Came here on a Tuesday at 2:30pm and my party of 2 was seated immediately. We ordered a Matcha Bavarian Cream and the Ujicha? Matcha? shaved ice (no red beans). The Matcha Bavarian Cream was incredibly well balanced. The matcha pudding was very bitter, but when eaten together with the sweet red bean paste and thick whipped cream, the bitterness goes unnoticed and the strong matcha flavor is brought out. The shaved ice was also very delicious for how simple it was, just green tea syrup and some shirotama (rice dumplings). The syrup was not too sweet or too bitter, and there was a good balance of syrup to ice. It was also very refreshing on a hot day after having walked in the sun for so long. One of the best dessert places we visited during our visit to Japan. I learned about it from the Netflix show, "Kantaro: Sweet Tooth Salaryman", which is a silly show albeit with great recommendations for Tokyo...

A very historical sweets shop with a modern twist. We have tried their famous Matcha Bavarois, and was not disappointed. The person that have created the dessert definitely understands textures and balance of flavors. It’s the combination of the whipped cream, sweet beans and the Bavarian cream. The Bavarian cream is infused intelligently with the matcha without taking the tea to higher temperatures, resulting in a non bitter deliciousness. The service staff was extremely professional and it was a nice surprise to see an English menu as well. Everyone in the party will need to order a meal or dessert in case you re planning to share one dessert. The dessert comes with unlimited warm tea which is also nice. Take out for the desserts is...

*Uji kintoki(shaved ice w red bean paste & Matchs Syrup.) love this! mochi on the side is exclusive; I wonder how it doesn't get hardened while being chilled on the ice. really chewy! One thing; the portion is no joke. I guess it's for 2 ppl.

*goori azuki(shaved ice w/ red bean paste) As far as I'm concerned, as red bean paste here is just a pure delight, it is better to eat goori azuki than uji kintoki here. Red bean paste is invariably decent!
