Yokan, a firm jelly dessert, is one of Japan’s most popular types of wagashi (Japanese sweets).

This bite-sized yokan is made in a local tea shop in Kyoto using only the finest ingredients. The matcha is a luxurious blend of organic Uji matcha grown in Wazuka-cho, Kyoto, a region famous for its green tea, and is carefully selected by tea masters to maximize the flavors. Earning the organic designation from JAS (Japanese Agricultural Standard) is a rigorous process, resulting in the highest quality matcha.

Beet sugar from Hokkaido, Japan’s northernmost main island, is also used given its mellow sweetness that brings out the astringent, bitter flavors and aroma of the matcha.

Suggested use: Enjoy with a bitter green tea such as matcha, gyokuro or sencha.
