“Chaponsu,” a Matcha Soda Sensation from a 100-Year-Old World's Fair, Revived in Modern Kyoto.

Experience a new sensation of matcha in Kyoto. A refreshingly sparkling, fruity "matcha soda" is born. This spring, "Chaponsu (matcha punch)," a new menu item, will be launched at "Saryo FUKUCHA," operated by Kyoto's Fukujuen, established in 1790. "Chaponsu" is a tea punch made by mixing matcha with carbonated water. This drink reinterprets the lineage of "matcha soda" that appeared at a World's Fair in America 100 years ago, for modern Kyoto. The aroma of matcha and the lightness of carbonation combine to create a refreshing taste perfect for spring in Kyoto. The matcha sauce is served separately, so you can enjoy the fun of pouring it yourself to finish the drink.

*At the "Japanese Tea Room" exhibited at the Second International Exhibition of Arts and Manufactures (Philadelphia World's Fair) in 1926, "Chaponsu," a tea punch made by mixing matcha with carbonated water, was offered and gained popularity.

### Three selectable fruit flavors PEACH: A gorgeous drink where the sweetness of white peach enhances the aroma of matcha. PINEAPPLE: The acidity of the tropics further boosts the refreshing sensation. STRAWBERRY: A classic popular flavor with a spring-like sweet and sour taste.
