When I was walking along the Uji River, I saw a familiar Noren in the distance.
And it was Byodoin Branch of...
Nakamura Tokichi, a very famous Japanese tea shop.
It was 3PM -- perfect tea time! So I went inside and ordered their seasonal menu "Spring Dolce" with Uji green tea (980 yen).
Light and fluffy chiffon cake with strawberry whipped cream, chocolate and green tea ice cream, and green tea chocolate with marshmallow were extremely delicious!!
Incidentally, there are lots of constructions going on in Uji City until 2014 -- Byodoin Temple, Ujikami Shrine, and Uji River bank...
I'd like to visit Uji more often while there are not many tourists.
