The matcha the duck and I currently use claims to be from Uji. So, whenever we make ourselves a relaxing cup of oat matcha latte, we remember that time we enjoyed a delicious cup of Uji matcha in Uji, “the town where the most beautiful matcha lives”(according to some weirdo in a video)! We briefly mentioned this mouthwatering matcha memory in the audiovisual report about our short Kyoto stint many years ago. However, we think it’s too deliciously beautiful to not share again. Uji was one of the last stops during our cold Kyoto autumn adventure. Sitting at that charming tea shop called Ocha no Kanbayashi, enjoying a cup of Uji matcha, and chatting with our lovely Kyoto travel companions made the duck and me sad that this terrific trip was ending. It did make for one of our favorite Japan memories, though, visual and culinary (not for the cold, however, that we still felt in our bones days after we had returned to Tokyo). Five (aromatic tea) leaves for this extraordinary experience! 🍃♥🍁♥🍃
The duck and I can’t wait for our next Japan adventure – whenever that may be.
What are your favorite gustatory memories?

Was in Trogir, Croatia, and sat under an umbrella watching pigeons bathe in the puddles sipping on the most wonderful latte, with the tiniest bit of chocolate syrup on top. Bliss.

If you ever have the opportunity, the duck and I highly recommend it. Even though we’re wannabe tea snobs, the duck and I like to occasionally add (oat) milk to our matcha. Sometimes we even sweeten it!
