From Naruyama, Japan’s top-century-old matcha brand, matcha enthusiasts eagerly await limited-edition releases every winter, and this year is no exception!

Two heartwarming drinks go on limited sale on November 19th！The first is the “Rich Milk Candy Matcha Latte (cold/hot)” priced at 150 NTD. This festive drink specially uses the classic flavor “Morinaga Milk Caramel” familiar to both adults and kids. It’s crafted with a perfect ratio, blending Uji matcha in a unique two-flavor combination. The layered experience of distinct tea aroma and milk caramel fragrance in your mouth is not only a brand-first but also a rare eye-catching combo in matcha beverages.

Additionally, the “Rich Hazelnut Dark Chocolate Matcha Latte (cold/hot)” is also priced at 150 NTD. It mixes the widely loved “hazelnut chocolate” into Uji matcha latte, taking the rich flavor to the next level. Upon the first sip, the aroma of hazelnut chocolate teases the taste buds, evoking a familiar delightful taste, which is then followed by the matcha flavor. The century-old shop’s meticulously crafted tea essence spreads in your mouth, and the two blend seamlessly into a brand-new sensation.

On November 29th, the “Narugashi Christmas Tree” makes a dazzling return. It features a agar jelly made from carefully selected imported Japanese white sugar and Ina agar powder, offering a Q-textured and refreshing flavor. The top layer is topped with sweet and tangy French strawberry puree and Meiji fresh cream from Japan, creating layers of richness. Finally, it’s paired with Naruyama’s signature rich matcha ice cream. The tea essence artfully blends with various ingredients, while redcurrants and star-shaped chocolates serve as delicate decorations on the Christmas tree. Experience the unique Christmas atmosphere of this century-old tea shop. When you get the Christmas tree, don’t forget to use your phone’s flashlight to light up the agar jelly at the bottom of the sundae—inspired by the traditional Christmas tree lighting ceremony, let’s “light up” the Christmas moment together.
