After enjoying lunch in Asakusa, why not indulge in dessert? Asakusa offers a wide variety of sweets such as parfaits, anmitsu, pancakes, and crepes. But today, let me introduce you to a special treat: rich matcha gelato from a traditional tea wholesaler. Suzukien (壽々喜園) is a long-established tea store that collaborates with “Nanaya” to offer seven different levels of matcha gelato intensity.
As you step into the shop, you’re greeted by a display of vibrant gelato in the refrigerator. Suzukien doesn’t just serve matcha gelato; they also offer coffee and matcha-based drinks, giving visitors plenty of options.
While matcha is the star, Suzukien also offers flavors like roasted tea (hoji-cha), genmai-cha, strawberry, sesame, and dainagon (sweet red bean paste). This diverse selection ensures there’s something for everyone.
The shop features a cozy seating area at the back, providing a comfortable space to enjoy your gelato.
Suzukien also sells a variety of tea leaves and accessories. Their beautifully designed packaging makes these items perfect as souvenirs.
Cups, and tea box….
Suzukien offers seven levels of matcha gelato, ranked from No.1 (lightest) to No.7 (richest). Each level is made with carefully selected matcha leaves, with No.7 featuring the highest quality matcha and priced accordingly.
No.1–No.6: ¥390 (single) ¥500 (double)
No.7: ¥590 (single), ¥680 (double, excluding No.7 combinations)
Cone option: Additional ¥20
I decided to try No.4 for ¥390. Its flavor was not too intense, offering a well-balanced, refreshing matcha taste—perfect for a first-time visitor.
The matcha gelato at Suzukien is rich and flavorful, with just the right level of sweetness to let the matcha shine. The smaller scoop size makes it an ideal dessert after a hearty meal. Next time, I’d love to try all the levels—especially No.7!
