Get Your Matcha Fix at This Hotel in Kyoto

Matcha is a very versatile ingredient and has been worked into just about every food and beverage you can think of. No trip to Kyoto would be complete without sampling some of the delicious green tea treats and we can't think of a better place than at the Matcha Sweets Garden Buffet at Kyoto Century Hotel in central Kyoto.

One guest per day will receive a surprise fruit compote brought to their table, with fresh and cool muscat grapes, kiwi, papaya and more.

There are also 15 different drinks to choose from, like this fun, non-alcoholic cocktail with a base of tigernut milk (tigernuts being small root vegetables originating from Africa, just in case you thought they were something else!), and small test tubes with matcha powder and powdered red or white koshian bean paste which you can mix into your drink yourself.

To balance out all of that sweetness, the buffet will have hors d’oeuvres like the “Spanish omelette with matcha potato salad” and “duck breast and mini tomato brochette with matcha cream garnish.” The buffet will also feature dishes from the restaurant Rantei, which specializes in refined Kyoto cuisine, serving things like “matcha dashi-maki egg sandwiches.”

If you have an insatiable craving for everything matcha, this may just be your place. The adult price for the 90-minute buffet is ¥3,900 (US$34.80), ¥2,000 for kids seven to 12, and ¥1,000 for kids four to six. Like many things in Japan, this buffet will only be around for a limited time, so get in and get your fill while you can!
