Nakamura Tokichi - Kyoto Station

Nakamura Tokichi's signature is the Nakamura tea series of Gyokuro, green tea, and roasted tea, which are quite delicious. Nakamura's strong tea is better than Tsujiri's. There are also other special teas in the store. It is recommended to buy Nakamura tea to make tea at home.

Nakamura Tokichi should be regarded as the classic representative of Uji Matcha. It seems that when mentioning Matcha, one must think of Nakamura Tokichi. It is said that for 99% of Matcha lovers, Nakamura Tokichi should be the dream paradise.

There is no need to explain much to those who know about Nakamura Tengji's matcha. The main store is a national treasure-level matcha shop in Japan with a history of more than 160 years. It is said that it takes 1 hour to grind 15 grams of top-grade matcha powder.

Nakamura Tokichi (Kyoto Station Branch) I was nearby and wanted to have a dessert, but there were too many people waiting for a table, so the clerk said they would not issue numbers today... So I bought two matcha balls to take away

You need to queue for a while at mealtime. Seasonal limited, you can choose one of matcha and oolong tea. The cream is not greasy, the cake is mellow, the matcha jelly is chewy, and the tea-flavored ice cream is very refreshing. I wanted to try the Uji Kintoki ice cream that I had long admired, but it was only available in summer, so I still felt a little disappointed.

If you love matcha, don't miss it. I saw many people mention it when I was making the guide. It is also a classic representative of Uji matcha, so I naturally have to try it. It is not very easy to find in Kyoto Station. You need to wait in line for a while. There are more local Japanese people in the store. We ordered a few main desserts, but it was a bit too much. The two of us couldn't eat it in the end.

I didn't expect that there would be a long queue at Nakamura Fujiyoshi in Kyoto. There is a takeaway shop on the first floor, but the variety is very limited, only some ice cream. The second floor is a dine-in shop, and you need to wait in line, but the products are still worth the wait.
