Experience the World's Strongest Matcha Gelato
Suzukien, a prestigious tea shop with over 150 years of history, offers an extraordinary matcha experience.
Their signature gelato line is truly exceptional. The matcha gelato comes in seven different intensity levels, with their legendary 'No. 7' being renowned as the world's most concentrated matcha gelato.
While most gelato makers consider Level 5 to be the maximum possible concentration, Suzukien has broken this barrier with their remarkable No. 7. This extraordinary creation uses a special grade of matcha tea leaves - the highest quality available in Japan, which has earned the Minister of Agriculture Award. It's a rare opportunity to savor the absolute pinnacle of matcha craftsmanship in gelato form.
