New Matcha Butter Cake 'Cha-chi-tsu-te-to' Featuring Uji Matcha and Fermented Butter to Pre-launch on June 1

Kotobukikoujyuan, a company committed to offering community-based confectionery, will pre-launch its new 'Matcha Butter Cake Cha-chi-tsu-te-to' at Kintetsu Department Store Uehommachi starting Monday, June 1, 2026.

## Development Background
The product development began after receiving numerous requests from customers asking to taste the previously sold matcha financier again. While preserving the delicious taste of the popular product that had been discontinued despite its long-standing popularity, the company combined the deep aroma of Uji matcha with fermented butter to create a moist and rich butter cake with more substance than the original financier.

## Product Overview
Upon taking a bite, the moist matcha dough and the rich flavor of fermented butter combine. It is a rich matcha butter cake created by weaving together Uji matcha and fermented butter.

- 100% Fermented Butter: Provides a moist mouthfeel and a deep, spreading flavor.
- Uji Matcha: Features the elegant and fragrant taste unique to Uji matcha. (Uji matcha accounts for 94% of the matcha used.)

## Origin of the Product Name
The name 'Cha-chi-tsu-te-to' was inspired by the quietness of Kyoto gardens and the pleasant rhythm of stone pavements. The company aims to create a matcha sweet that leaves a lasting impression, beyond just its taste, through its name, presence, and aesthetic beauty.
