Kobe-born patisserie "Antenor" will release the "Uji Matcha Cake" on its online shop starting Thursday, April 2nd, featuring matcha created in collaboration with the long-established Kyoto tea wholesaler "Kitagawa Hanbee Shoten."
"Kyo no Uguisu" (Kyoto Nightingale) is an original matcha blend crafted by the tea masters of Kitagawa Hanbee Shoten and the pastry chefs at Antenor. We have combined its highly aromatic quality with the deep, refined sweetness of Wasanbon sugar and baked it with Hokkaido-grown adzuki beans as an accent. Furthermore, the cake is finished with a smooth, melt-in-your-mouth white chocolate ganache cream, all wrapped in a matcha-infused chocolate coating—a truly profound treat. Please enjoy the exquisite harmony between the bitter, deep flavor of the matcha and the milky richness of the ganache cream.
