Located in Gion's Hanamikoji district, this directly managed parfait is the renowned tea shop of Gion Tsujiri, a long-established tea maker founded in 1860. Featuring rich Uji matcha, the shop carefully crafts desserts that perfectly balance aroma, bitterness, and sweetness.

Their signature dish is their signature parfait, layered with matcha, roasted green tea, and brown rice tea. Layered with shiratama (rice flour dumplings), agar, warabi mochi (bracken-starch dumplings), matcha ice cream, and bean paste, the parfait is renowned for its rich flavor, which lasts until the very end. They also offer anmitsu (sweetened confectionery), jelly, seasonal limited-edition sweets, and a set to enjoy thick tea. Combine it with the tea shop (Gion Tsujiri on the first floor), and you can enjoy both a gift and a delicious treat all at once.

[Trivia]
- Saryo Tsujiri is a sweets brand from Gion Tsujiri. To bring out the best in matcha, the desserts are layered with consideration for the temperature and texture that best brings out the aroma.
