Suzukien Asakusa Main Store: A Must-Visit Destination for Matcha Lovers

If you are looking for a place to rest during your stroll through Asakusa, Suzukien Asakusa Main Store is highly recommended for matcha enthusiasts. This long-established shop has been beloved for its Japanese tea sales and cafe services since its founding. Currently, it attracts significant attention from both domestic and international visitors for its matcha gelato, created in collaboration with the popular Shizuoka tea shop 'Nanaya.' Originally cherished as a place to enjoy Japanese tea, it has become one of Asakusa's representative dessert spots since it began selling authentic matcha gelato. The greatest appeal is the ability to choose the intensity of the matcha in stages. The highest level of gelato, in particular, stands out for the inherent umami and astringency of the matcha, offering a surprisingly profound flavor. The matcha latte also provides a refreshing taste with restrained sweetness, allowing you to experience the rich aroma of Japanese tea. There is an eat-in space on the second floor, making it ideal for a break between sightseeing. Japanese tea is also sold on the first floor, which is recommended for souvenir shopping. This is a uniquely Asakusa establishment where you can enjoy both the tradition and the new charms of Japanese tea culture.
