Hidden
away
in
a
corner
on
the
10th
floor
of
Daimaru
above
Tokyo
Station,
Saryo
Tsujiri
is
one
of
the
most
hyped
cafes
to
get
your
kick
of
matcha
for
the
day.
At
an
odd
afternoon
period
of
4pm,
I
arrived
to
find
a
1.5
hour
queue
time.
Waiting
in
line
were
many
local
Japanese
people,
with
some
foreigners
mixed
in.
I
noticed
the
couple
in
front
were
visitors
from
Hong
Kong
who
followed
a
foodie
magazine
here,
hyping
up
the
experience
even
more.
After
a
gruelling
amount
of
wait-time,
I
was
permitted
into
the
cafe
which
was
surprisingly
spacious
once
you're
pass
the
traditional
Japanese
curtains
at
the
entrance.
Again,
the
interior
design
is
mostly
wooden,
but
this
time
with
much
brighter
lighting
to
lighten
up
the
mood.
There's
a
great
view
by
the
window
too!
First
I
ordered
their
signature
parfait
(tokusen
tsujiri
pafe
特選都路里パフェ),
the
most
expensive
option.
The
accompanying
photo
for
this
post,
at
the
top,
shows
the
layout
of
my
table
at
this
point.
Pretty
minimalistic
but
beautiful.
The
parfait
glass
was
also
notably
large.
Maybe
not
as
large
as
I
made
it
out
to
be
though,
haha!
The
parfait
started
with
some
matcha
mousse
at
the
top,
then
transitioned
to
some
blocks
of
matcha
castella
cake,
matcha
ice
cream,
matcha
jelly,
red
bean
paste,
shiratama
dango,
other
dango
balls
made
from
red
bean,
some
sweet
potato,
and
finally
agar
jelly
at
the
bottom.
The
presentation
was
beautiful,
and
the
sweets
were
very
flavoursome.
I
couldn't
believe
how
many
things
were
made
of
matcha!
Probably
the
best
matcha
dessert
I've
ever
had,
but
it
was
at
a
steep
price
of
around
1,750
yen.
Since
I
took
the
liberty
of
coming
all
the
way
to
Saryo
Tsujiri,
I
also
ordered
their
Gion
Shigure
祇園しぐれ
matcha
iced
tea,
priced
at
around
900
yen.
It
was
not
too
sweet,
and
had
a
good
emphasis
on
the
green
tea.
It
also
came
with
a
small
Japanese
manju
sweet.
I
would
probably
say
Saryo
Tsujiri
is
a
must-try
shop
for
matcha
parfait
lovers,
but
the
wait
can
be
quite
long.
It's
also
on
the
expensive
side,
so
maybe
just
drop
by
here
if
you
have
spare
time
and
money.
