Born in Kyoto, our brand was founded by a tea master who saw modern life robbing people of simple, authentic moments of peace. He created this dessert to bring the ceremonial quality of Uji matcha into an everyday treat, using only ingredients that meet Japan's strict JAS (Japanese Agricultural Standard) for organic farming. Each batch is tested in our Kyoto facility for purity and flavor profile before release. This specific formula of first-harvest matcha paired with traditional kinako (roasted soybean flour) was developed over 3 years of trial, based on feedback from over 500 tasting panels in Japan. It's now the top-ranked warabi mochi in its category for three consecutive years, chosen for its authentic texture and balanced, not-too-sweet taste that real customers call 'just right'.

The 'Premium Uji Matcha Warabi Mochi with Kinako - Authentic Kyoto Dessert 320g' by Kyoto Uji Chaya features a carefully curated selection of traditional Japanese ingredients, each serving a specific purpose to deliver an authentic and high-quality dessert experience. The primary ingredient is premium Uji matcha, sourced from the renowned Uji region of Kyoto, which provides the distinctive, vibrant green color and a rich, umami-forward flavor with subtle bitterness, offering antioxidant benefits from its high catechin content. Warabi mochi is made from bracken starch (warabiko), giving the dessert its signature soft, chewy, and jelly-like texture that melts in the mouth, while sugar is added to balance the matcha's bitterness and enhance overall sweetness. Kinako, or roasted soybean flour, is used as a coating to prevent sticking and impart a nutty, slightly sweet aroma, contributing plant-based protein and dietary fiber. Additional ingredients may include water for hydration and a small amount of preservatives to maintain freshness, ensuring the product retains its delicate texture and flavor during storage. Together, these ingredients create a harmonious blend that honors Kyoto's culinary heritage, offering a luxurious, gluten-free treat with a balance of flavors and textures, along with potential health benefits from matcha's antioxidants and kinako's nutrients.
