Kyoto’s Itohkyuemon has been making tea products since 1832 yet it continues to offer interesting, innovative products like its all-new matcha bars. True to their name, the matcha parfait ice cream bars take inspiration from the company's matcha parfaits and are just as decadently dressed.
While the Uji Matcha Parfait Bar features ingredients like red bean paste and a mochi dumpling, the Sakura Matcha Parfait Bar boasts a salted, edible cherry blossom and the Tropical Matcha Parfait Bar combines the exotic tastes of mango and pineapple with a tart fruit sauce drizzle. Although many people with a sweet tooth will be drawn to these bars for their unique flavors, just as many people will want to take pictures of the immaculately decorated matcha bar desserts.
