Uji Matcha x White Chocolate

One bite fills your mouth with the rich aroma of Uji matcha and the mellow sweetness of white chocolate.

● Message from the Person in Charge

Maiko are a representative culture of Kyoto. Behind their glamorous appearance lies a story of growth towards their dreams through daily effort. "Otamahime" was born inspired by the "egg" stage before becoming a maiko. It expresses the adorable figure of someone who still retains some childishness but is beginning to walk towards adulthood, in the form of a confection.

We want visitors to Kyoto to feel the culture of the ancient capital, admiration, and the feeling of dreaming in a single bite.

This is the sentiment we've put into it.
