Japan Travels: Suzukien Matcha, Asakusa Tokyo

This traditional Matcha house that is specialised in Matcha ice cream and drinks have been trending everywhere online, we know we have to give it a shot while wandering around Asakusa town. It’s called Suzukien, a small tea house that is famous for its strongest Matcha flavour. It was a long queue under the hot sun, we queued for nearly 45 minutes for our turn to go inside the shop, and there is another 15 minutes queueing time inside until our turn to order. So be sure to have the biggest patience in the world because it’s worth it! While waiting outside, we can enjoy the view of the amazing Skytree tower at our sight.

The counter staff were very friendly, recommending foreign tourists on the orders and explaining nicely. The pure Matcha flavours consisted of level 1 to level 6 of Matcha strength, with 6 being the highest and most concentrated.
We got a double scoop (Level 6 and Level 7). The level 6 is quite rich and balanced, we love it a lot and it’s a recommended level for adults. The level 7 has a bit of dry feeling to the mouth and very concentrated, it’s bitter but I personally think it’s quite delicious too. Other than that, we also got their signature Matcha drink that so far it’s the best Matcha drink that we ever tried in our Japan trip.

If you are planning to travel to Asakusa, please do not miss this amazing place and a must-go especially for Matcha lovers! Be sure to bring an umbrella if visiting on a sunny weather.
