Many people are surprised by the appearance of that ice bar, among other things.
So, what exactly is Ito Kyuemon’s matcha parfait ice pop like?
In this post, I’d like to introduce Ito Kyuemon’s matcha parfait ice cream bar, which has been making waves for being incredibly Instagram-worthy.
If you're thinking, "I'd love to try some Japanese-style ice cream!", be sure to order it online and enjoy it at home.
■Who is Ito Kyuemon?
"Ito Kyuemon," headquartered in Uji, Kyoto.
This tea shop was founded in Tenpō 3 (1832) and has a long history.
This shop is famous locally for its high-quality tea, and the “Ito Kyuemon Parfait”—made using stone-ground matcha prepared according to traditional methods—has been a beloved dessert for many years.
While many people make a special trip to try these sweets, I hear that quite a few had to give up because they were sold out…
That’s when the matcha parfait ice cream bar was created—so you could enjoy it at home, too.
■What is Ito Kyuemon’s Matcha Parfait Ice Pop?
The matcha parfait ice cream bar, which has become one of our signature desserts.
As mentioned earlier, this is an ice cream version of Ito Kyuemon’s parfait, and it has become a huge hit on Instagram and other platforms for being so photogenic.
Rather than looking like a popsicle, it resembles a flat, paddle-like object—a gohei—on which a matcha parfait has been recreated.
The ice cream is topped with "Matchan" fresh chocolate, daifuku, sweet red bean paste, and mandarin oranges, giving it an incredibly cute appearance.
The combination of the crisp matcha chocolate and the refreshingly cold matcha ice cream, along with the flavors of the toppings, really makes you feel like you’re enjoying authentic Japanese-style ice cream.

・A rich flavor. It feels just like eating a parfait. From the crisp texture to the coolness of the ice cream, I was able to enjoy matcha in a variety of textures.
