Tea company Itokyuehmon in the Kyoto Prefecture town of Uji in Japan is laughing a series of florally inspired sweets that pay homage to the blooms of a particular genus. The treat menu is inspired by hydrangea blooms and include the Ajisai Parfait, Ajisai Minazuki and the Matcha Parfait Ice Cream Bar Ajisai that's outfitted in a brand new form to celebrate the aforementioned flower.
