🍵 An Exquisite Taste Infused with Matcha from the Historic 'Morihan' – 'Uji Matcha Fresh Donut'

This time, Saint Germain proudly introduces a fresh donut made with generous amounts of Uji matcha from 'Morihan', a renowned tea house established in Kyoto's Uji region in 1836 (Tenpō 7).

Established in 1836 – The Historic Tea Merchant 'Morihan'

Founded in 1836 in Uji, Kyoto, 'Morihan' has always prioritized 'trusted quality' and has upheld the traditions of Japanese tea-making. The company is dedicated to producing high-quality Japanese tea through carefully selected tea leaves by master tea artisans and the proactive adoption of new technologies.

The matcha produced using traditional techniques honed over generations is characterized by its smooth umami and the authentic, rich aroma of matcha. The premium matcha cream, capturing this full flavor, is generously filled into a soft, melt-in-your-mouth dough made from domestic wheat. With each bite, the gentle texture of the dough blends with the deep richness and refined bitterness of matcha, filling your mouth with a luxurious taste experience.

Fresh Donut (Uji Matcha) – ¥378 (tax included)

An exquisite Japanese-style bakery dessert that elevates your everyday tea time or after-dinner moments into something special.
