Gion Tsujiri Co., Ltd. will be selling its premium matcha dessert, "Matcha Rare Cheesecake Premium," exclusively online from July 1, 2020. (Delivery will begin on or after July 10.)
Following on from the matcha terrine, the second installment in Gion Tsujiri's premium series is a supreme rare cheesecake that contrasts the deep flavor of the savory and astringent matcha that fills your mouth with the refreshing taste of rare yuzu. It uses Gion Tsujiri's signature stone-ground Uji matcha, as well as yuzu grown in Mizuo, Kyoto, and high-quality cream cheese made from high-quality raw milk from Tokachi, Hokkaido, to achieve a balance of rich flavor and tartness.
A special summer item. Available exclusively at the official online shop (https://www.giontsujiri.co.jp/shop/).
Smooth, melt-in-your-mouth texture and deep flavor
Matcha Rare Cheesecake Premium is handmade by skilled artisans, who spare no effort in their pursuit of deliciousness. The ingredients are slowly mixed until they become smooth, and the straining process is carefully repeated to ensure a uniform consistency. The result is a delicate, smooth, melt-in-your-mouth texture and deep flavor that can only be achieved by hand.
The golden ratio of flavor
A very rich and luxurious matcha flavor, with the full-bodied flavor and umami of the natural milkiness of cheese. Behind the rich and heavy yet elegant flavor is a subtle, refreshing aftertaste, similar to the flavor of yuzu added in Kyoto cuisine, which further highlights the refreshing taste of the matcha, resulting in an exquisite golden ratio of flavor.
Carefully Selected Ingredients
The flavour of matcha is very delicate. In order to make the most of the taste of matcha, the ingredients that it is paired with are also carefully selected. We have been particular about using high-quality ingredients, with harmony with matcha being our top priority.
[Stone-Ground Uji Matcha]
The main ingredient, matcha, is made using a generous amount of Gion Tsujiri's proud Uji matcha, which is made using only the highest quality first-picked tea and ground using a stone mill that can only grind 40g per hour.
【Cream cheese made from Tokachi raw milk】
To make the most of the flavorful and delicate taste of matcha while leaving a clean, refreshing aftertaste, the cheese is made from 100% dairy ingredients made from high-quality raw milk from cows raised healthily in Tokachi, Hokkaido, in the lush natural surroundings. We have achieved an exquisite balance between the high-quality cream cheese, which is characterized by a rich flavor with a balanced acidity and a clean aftertaste, and the matcha.
【Yuzu grown from seeds in Mizuo, Kyoto】
Furthermore, the carefully selected ingredient to combine it with is yuzu grown from seeds in Mizuo, Kyoto, which is known as the "home of yuzu." Yuzu is generally grown by grafting, but yuzu grown from seeds takes many years to harvest and is rarely available on the market.
The highly fragrant, high-quality yuzu grown in the cool mountain climate and underground waters of Mt. Atago maximizes the flavor of the matcha.
A quintet that stimulates the five senses
I. Yuzu peel cooked slowly at low temperature
II. Rich, refreshing matcha nappage
III. Yuzu-flavored cheese dough with a refreshing acidity
IV. Rich matcha cheese dough filled with our proud matcha
V. Cookie dough made with matcha and almonds for a delightful texture
Cooling packaging too
The refreshing flavors of matcha and yuzu are expressed in the packaging so that you can feel cool the moment you open the box.
