Characteristics and Attractiveness of Each Type of Grand Marble Gion Danish Bread
Here are the features and attractions of each type of Grand Marble Gion Danish bread.
○Prestige
Prestige is the simplest of the Grand Marbles. It is made with great care and attention to detail, down to the salt, eggs, and water. It is sweet and delicious without toasting, but the margarine melts and becomes more moist with toasting. It tastes sweet without the jam.
○Kyoto 3 colors
This Danish bread is a mixture of Gion Tsujiri's matcha green tea, strawberry, and plain. After all, it is not only elegant in taste, but also lovely in its brightly colored appearance. The taste of strawberry and matcha green tea is very delicious.
○Maple caramel
Maple Caramel is the perfect combination of maple and caramel sweetness. The rich flavor of maple and the melt-in-your-mouth sweetness are the best. Although the name suggests a very sweet image, its moderate sweetness can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
○Apple and walnut pudding Danish
It has a fluffy pudding flavor. Apples, walnuts, and raisins are woven into the pudding danish. The bright colors when cut are quite fashionable.
○Chocolat chocolat
Chocolat Chocolat is moderately sweet and can be enjoyed by chocoholics and non-chocoholics alike. Bitter flavored chocolate and crushed almonds are interwoven.
Gion Tsujiri Matcha An
Gion Tsujiri matcha green tea bean paste with Kyoto-like flavor. Anko (sweet red bean paste) is woven into the dough, which is richly kneaded with matcha green tea from Gion Tsujiri, a long-established store in Kyoto. It is a must-have for lovers of matcha green tea and red bean paste.
○Cheese & Bacon
Cheese & Bacon is one of the most hearty breads from Grand Marble. It has a rich flavor that is perfect with wine or beer. The cheese is made with Camembert cheese, which has a great Italian flavor.
○Mocha Chocolat
Mocha Chocolat is perfect for breakfast. The sweetness of the chocolate with a soft aroma of mocha flavor is recommended for coffee lovers.
○Doji Fromage
The French company Lugard is a top brand of butter, cream, and cream cheese. Doji Fromage is a richly flavored Danish woven with cream cheese from such a company. It goes well with wine and champagne.
Chestnut and red bean paste Gion Tsujiri Matcha Special
Gion Tsujiri's matcha green tea dough, generously sprinkled with red bean paste and chestnuts, is one of Grand Marble's most extravagant creations. The sweetness of the red bean paste and the texture of the chestnuts are irresistible.

I personally recommend the "Chestnut and Anko Gion Tsujiri Matcha Special".
All of Grand Marble's marble danishes are so delicious that it is hard to decide which one to buy as a greeting gift.
So far, I have tried all of them except for the apple and walnut pudding Danish.... The only ones I have tasted that are truly Kyoto-like are
Gion Tsujiri Matcha An
Chestnut and red bean paste Gion Tsujiri Matcha Special
I was very impressed with the taste of Gion Tsujiri's matcha green tea and the bean paste. The flavor of Gion Tsujiri's matcha and the abundant use of anko (sweet bean paste) were truly "Japanese".
This is the Gion Tsujiri matcha bean paste I had the other day. Personally, I ate it toasted because it has more sweetness and a firm texture.
And more luxurious with the texture of chestnuts in it is the Chestnut and Anko Gion Tsujiri Matcha Special. The Danish bread, with its chewy texture of chestnuts and rich aroma of matcha green tea made with Gion Tsujiri in Kyoto, is very tasty both toasted and as it is. It is also free of flower paste, so you can fully enjoy the taste of chestnuts and red bean paste.
summary
Danish bread from Grand Marble Gion, Kyoto, which is said to sell 1,500 pieces a day.
Our pastry chefs bake each one individually, and you will be impressed with every kind. Please try them when you visit Kyoto.
