Suzukien Teashop (Matcha Ice Cream), Tokyo

Suzukien Teashop (Matcha Ice Cream), Tokyo

The Suzukien Teashop in Asakusa is a place where visitors to the city can stop for a cup of tea and some of the most unique gelato flavors that can be found in Tokyo.

Suzukien has teas from all over Japan. Try the sweet Kinryu tea from the Shizuoka prefecture or the minty Benifuki, which is said to help with seasonal allergies.

Along with tea, the teashop claims to have the world's strongest matcha gelato. The matcha used in the gelato is grown in the mountains of Fujieda City in the Shizuoka prefecture. Those who don't want the richest experience can choose one of the seven levels of matcha intensity. They also have flavors like strawberry, black sesame and adzuki bean.

Tourists can purchase souvenirs from the Suzukien Teashop in Asakusa. Teas are available in bags, loose leaf or ground. Most are provided in decorative packaging specifically for visitors from abroad.

The shop is located on Kototoi-dori Avenue. It is a short, five minute walk from the Senso-ji Temple.
