Dying for a quick feast on a cute cake or sweet treat? Ginza Cozy Corner is your port of call. From August 16, 2019 they will be releasing two flavours of tapioca pudding at all stores that sell fresh cakes. The tapioca puddings will only be available for a limited period.
Tapioca Milk Tea Pudding
The Tapioca Milk Pudding is a fusion of two things we all love; a wobbly custard pudding and milk tea-flavoured bubble tea. The smooth texture of the milk tea pudding and springy tapioca pearls are two fun textures that you can enjoy together.
Tapioca Matcha Pudding
The Tapioca Matcha Pudding is a matcha latte bubble tea in pudding form. The rich matcha flavour makes for the perfect sophisticated flavour that adults would love. The colour of both these desserts is beautiful. They would make the perfect souvenirs for your loved ones.
These puddings are only being sold on Fridays, Weekends and national holidays, so this is the perfect way to reward yourself for all that hard work on the weekdays.

Kiyomizu Cheese Kobo opened at Kiyomizu Gojozaka at the foot of the famous Kiyomizudera Temple as Kyoto’s first ever cheesecake shop to sell its delicious cheesecakes in a cute jar. On August 13, they released a mouthwateringly rich Matcha Cheese Tea which will enlighten you with a new way to enjoy matcha.
The Matcha Cheese Tea harnesses Kyoto’s unbeatable Uji matcha which is full of rich and fresh flavour. A light cloud of fluffy cheese foam floats on top of the drink, adding a salty accent to the overall flavour. A traditional tea combined with a sweet and salty cheese flavour ー this brand new flavour discovery will leave you feeling refreshed and enlightened. The recipe for the cheese foam consists of cream cheese carefully selected by the cheesecake shop’s specialists. This is then blended with a small amount of salt to accent the flavour.
If you mix the matcha milk tea with the cheese foam, the rich matcha mixes with the saltiness of the cream cheese, creating a sweet salty flavour that you will not be able to get enough of. As the flavour is not too overpowering, you can enjoy this drink endlessly and will feel refreshed even on a hot summer’s day.
Matcha Cheese Tea: ￥460
Kiyomizu Cheese Kobo recommends three different ways to drink the Matcha Cheese Tea to enjoy three different levels of flavour combinations.
① First off, drink just the matcha milk tea so you can experience the true authentic flavour of Kyoto’s famous rich Uji matcha tea.
② Next, move your straw so that you taste just the cheese foam on its own. The fluffy foam will gently slide over your tongue and spread a mild and sweet flavour all over your mouth.
③ Finally, it’s time to mix everything. The saltiness of the cheese foam and the sweetness of the matcha milk will create a new salty sweet flavour that you will want to try again and again.
Whether you are a Japanese local or a foreigner, this drink is a fun new way to enjoy matcha. If you are new to matcha, this is a good way to try the flavour without being too overwhelmed.
