Uji: Nakamura Tokichi 中村藤吉's Green tea dessert & food

Nakamura Tokichi 中村藤吉 is an eatery famous for its tea and its delicious food and dessert. This is its original store in Uji, which is a quiet town about 30 mins train ride from Kyoto. Thankfully, it has set up outlets beyond the few it has in Uji town.

Being alone, R had a hard time deciding what to order from the lean menu.

Hot matcha soba. Savoury but light

Warabi with brown sugar syrup

deliciously chewy

R hoped that she could savour more of Nakamura Tokichi's matcha dessert, especially the cold ones. It was one of those moments when she hoped more people could join her to share a few desserts. As R's Kyoto trip wouldn't feel complete without trying the cold ones. So, whenever R was at Kyoto station, she would assessed if her stomach to take some dessert from Nakamura Tokichi. Tadah! Finally on the last day at Kyoto.
