FEATURE01<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shaved Ice Inspired by Usucha<\/span> \u2014 A Whisked Matcha<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Our signature Shaved Ice with Matcha Espuma<\/span> takes its inspiration from usucha<\/span>, literally \"thin tea\" \u2014 the lightly whisked matcha traditionally served in the tea ceremony.
\nThe smooth espuma on top reflects the delicate froth created with a bamboo whisk (chasen)<\/span> in a tea bowl.

\n\nTo bring out the rich umami, gentle bitterness, and refined aroma of high-quality matcha, we keep the sweetness subtle.
\nPlease enjoy it slowly and mindfully\u2014just like a bowl of tea savored in a peaceful tearoom.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Arashiyama\u2019s Signature:
\nShaved Ice with Matcha Espuma<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

SHAVED ICE WITH MATCHA ESPUMA<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

This shaved ice is topped with smooth matcha espuma made from chilled matcha, just as it is.
\nThe delicate froth, reminiscent of matcha whisked with a bamboo whisk (chasen)<\/span>, melts softly in the mouth, offering a light yet refined texture.
\nIts dignified flavor\u2014perfectly balanced between umami and gentle bitterness\u2014brings to mind the quiet satisfaction of enjoying a fine bowl of tea in a tearoom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To highlight the true character and aroma of matcha, we keep the sweetness to a minimum.
\nSweet red beans and extra syrup are served on the side, allowing you to adjust the flavor to your liking.
\nThe shaved ice is served in a matcha bowl, so you can sip the melted tea-infused ice directly from the vessel\u2014just as you would when finishing a bowl of tea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We use only matcha from Tsujiki, a renowned brand based in the Shirakawa area of Uji, Kyoto\u2014known for producing some of the highest-grade matcha in Japan.
\nAt Tsujiki\u2019s tea fields, the owner himself visits the farm daily, reading the environment and \u201cconversing\u201d with the tea trees to nurture the best leaves for the season.
\nAwarded the prestigious Prime Minister\u2019s Award and many others, this master cultivator crafts matcha with remarkable depth and lingering aroma.
\nWe invite you to savor the refined richness born from the hands of a true artisan.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

For Those with a Sweet Tooth:
\nShaved Ice with Matcha & Milk<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

SHAVED ICE WITH MATCHA & MILK<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Rich matcha meets the gentle sweetness of milk espuma in this indulgent dessert\u2014like a matcha latte in the form of shaved ice.
\nWhile our Shaved Ice with Matcha Espuma is subtly sweet, this Matcha & Milk version is crafted to be more dessert-like, offering a satisfyingly sweet treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The matcha comes from Mr. and Mrs. Hayashi, tea farmers in Wazuka, Kyoto.
\nAfter recovering from a serious illness in his youth, Mr. Hayashi was inspired to rethink his approach to food and the environment, leading him to pursue a more natural way of tea farming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using no fertilizers and relying solely on the natural nutrients of the soil, the Hayashis\u2019 tea trees grow strong and healthy.
\nWith no pesticides used, harvest yields are lower and timing must be carefully considered\u2014but through daily dedication, they\u2019ve created a way of farming in true harmony with nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enjoy this moment of summer coolness, guided by the bold flavor and fragrance of tea leaves nurtured by the blessings of the earth.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
