Imagine a dish where the rich, aromatic spices of curry meet the sophisticated elegance of Japanese matcha. This innovative creation comes from Itohkyuemon, a venerable tea house established in 703 CE in Uji, Kyoto – and it's revolutionizing how we think about matcha.
The Evolution of a Tea Master's Vision

Itohkyuemon has been pioneering new ways to enjoy matcha beyond traditional tea ceremonies. While their journey began with conventional sweets like roll cakes and chocolate truffles, their most daring innovation yet brings matcha into the world of savory cuisine: Matcha Curry.
The Art of Fusion
This isn't your ordinary curry. At its base lies a rich white curry sauce, creamy and full-bodied, expertly spiced to create a complex flavor profile. What transforms this dish into something extraordinary is the addition of Itohkyuemon's specially selected stone-ground Uji matcha, creating a harmony between curry's warmth and matcha's sophisticated umami.
The Secret Behind the Deep Green
The stunning emerald hue of this curry isn't just for show – it's a testament to centuries-old craftsmanship. The story begins along the misty banks of the Uji River, where the natural morning fog creates perfect conditions for growing premium tea leaves. Itohkyuemon maintains the traditional stone-grinding technique that has been passed down through generations. This meticulous process, where tea leaves are slowly ground between granite stones, preserves the tea's vibrant color and deep flavor in a way that modern mechanical methods cannot match.
A Bridge Between Tradition and Innovation
This matcha curry represents more than just a novel dish – it's a bridge between Japan's ancient tea culture and contemporary culinary exploration. It demonstrates how traditional ingredients can be reimagined while respecting their heritage, opening new possibilities for how we experience matcha in the modern world.
For centuries, matcha has been synonymous with Japanese tea ceremonies and traditional sweets. Now, through bold experimentation and respect for tradition, it's finding new life in unexpected places. The Uji Matcha Curry stands as a testament to how ancient flavors can be reinvented for contemporary palates while maintaining their essential character.
