Soft Cinnamon-seasoned Rice Flour Confection with YUCa’s Tea Handpicked Organic Matcha
Nama Yatsuhashi is a traditional Japanese confection representing Kyoto, made from soft rice flour dough filled with sweet red bean paste. It has a tender mouthfeel with a pleasant elasticity. Hand-picked organic matcha is more refined than regular organic matcha, offering a cleaner taste with rich umami and aroma, and minimal bitterness.
The gentle sweetness and cinnamon aroma of nama yatsuhashi harmonize beautifully with the mild bitterness and fresh green notes of the matcha, enhancing each other’s flavors. In particular, YUCa’s Tea Handpicked Organic Matcha has a subdued astringency that gently complements the flavor of the yatsuhashi without overpowering it. This pairing invites you to savor the natural richness of the ingredients while experiencing the delicate spirit of Japanese culinary culture. It is an ideal choice for tea time or as part of a warm and thoughtful hospitality.
