#ujikintoki
As one might expect from the home of matcha in Japan, 'ujikintoki' (宇治金時) is a dessert of ice shavings slathered in matcha-syrup, red bean paste and mochi.

'Kintoki' (きんとき) red bean paste is named after the folk hero Kintarō (金太郎), who is often depicted with red skin.

There are many different kinds of kakigōri, including 'shirokuma' (白熊 'white bear'), 'ujikintoki' (宇治金時 lit. 'Uji red bean paste') and 'yakigōri' (焼き氷 'baked ice').
Liquor, typically brandy, is poured on top of the 'yakigōri' and set alight🔥

Walking in midday Asakusa, started to get a heat induced headache and saw cafe “Akane”. Ordered ujikintoki and a lemonade. Loved it. Walked out refreshed.

You are the one who knows their back stories 😆 Eating Ujikintoki in winter would be freezing 😂 I miss winter now, it’s been too muggy here🫠

鶴屋吉信 TOKYO MISE
宇治金時

日本橋から帰宅する前、鶴屋吉信 TOKYO MISEの茶房に寄りました。
こちらではご褒美的に大福を買うことがあるんですが、茶房で頂くのは初めてです。

午後になって蒸し暑くなってきたのでかき氷を。
さらっとした軽い氷に濃いめの抹茶蜜がたっぶり。練乳も付いてくるけどない方が好きかな。

京・茶房TSURU
宇治金時

玉川高島屋の鶴屋吉信によって今年初のかき氷を食べて帰りました。

抹茶・粒あん・練乳・白玉の宇治金時、細かくサラサラに削られた氷にしっかり濃い抹茶のシロップ、そりゃ美味しいですよね。

注文時に練乳かけるか聞かれたんですけど、食べてみると分かります。確かに練乳無しもありです。

It's everyone! 😍 So cute!! 🥰 Knowing their back stories makes their expressions so much more fun to see. 😆 It's an illustration that will put a smile on our faces no matter how hot the weather is. 😚 I love all the summer synonymous objects 🌻🥤🍉🍺

PS: it's cold over here but I want that ujikintoki 🤤
