Recognized as a leading supplier of matcha, Gion Tsujiri is highly respected both in Japan and internationally for its traditional tea offerings and the brand’s commitment to quality and craftsmanship. Gion Tsujiri’s products are often sought after for their authentic taste, vibrant color, and health benefits associated with matcha consumption.

Beginning March 27, 2024 (Wednesday), Mister Donut will launch its first limited-time collaboration with Uji tea specialist Gion Tsujiri, titled Misdo Meets Gion Tsujiri – 1st Edition, showcasing innovative and flavorful creations that highlight the best of Japanese tea and pastry culture.

I started to like Japan because of the anime, music and doramas, but after my first trip to the country I found what I love the most: traveling around, the culture and history. I have travelled a lot in Japan, but I still have many places to discover that I want to share with you🙋🏼‍♀️ Let’s discover Japan together!

 

Also, as a foreigner living in Japan for over 6 years I understand what kind of things are difficult when you move here and I want to help other people in the same situation that I have in the past.
