Matcha Gelato Comes to Tokyo at “Tea and Spoon Nanaya Aoyama”

Date published: 14 February 2020

Nanaya, a premium matcha (powdered green tea) company based out of Shizuoka, has brought their ultra-popular matcha gelato to Tokyo!

Interested customers can get a taste of this green tea treat, ranging in intensity on a scale of one to seven, at Tea and Spoon Nanaya Aoyama, in Shibuya’s chic upscale Omotesando district.

Nanaya has been offering some of Shizuoka’s finest Fujieda matcha since 1988. It later became well-known for their matcha-based sweets, particularly their matcha-gelato.

However, it was only in 2016 that the company opened its first Tokyo shop. Tea and Spoon Nanaya Aoyama features the company’s famous gelato, which received the highest rating for quality, as well as being a runner up in the Japan Gelato Contest.

Customers ordering the icy treat can choose from seven levels of matcha-deepness, ranging from light to ultra-deep. Nanaya’s “Premium No. 7” is perhaps one of the richest matcha gelatos you can find in Japan, with a dark green color, bursting with bitter, but sweet green tea flavor.

In addition to gelato, the shop also offers matcha cookies, matcha chocolate, and matcha daifuku (a traditional Japanese mochi sweet). If you’re a green tea lover, this is one shop you won’t want to miss!
