Yame Tea Sweets

Yame is known as Japan's number one production area for Gyokuro tea. Yame Tea Sweets are crafted using these premium tea leaves in abundance. It is said that the roots of Yame tea began in 1423 during the Muromachi period, when a Zen monk returning from China brought tea seeds and cultivation methods to this land. The Gyokuro grown in this blessed mountain environment possesses a certified quality, frequently winning the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Award at national tea competitions. This rich umami and aroma are transformed into delicacies such as roll cakes, puddings, daifuku, and chocolates. Experience the deep, rich, and mellow matcha flavor unique to this tea-producing region. You can fully enjoy the high-quality flavors nurtured by long history and Yame's nature through these colorful sweets.
