Kyuchaya Tei

The Daisho Feng Tea Shop is located on the cross street of Hakodate, Hokkaido. The building where the shop is located was built in the late Meiji period and has a history of more than 100 years. This store also has a history of nearly 30 years, having been in business since 1992. The store's homemade pudding has just the right amount of egg flavor and sweetness, and it's delicious paired with the slightly bitter caramel. After ordering matcha, you can choose your own bowl. The owner's grandma said that the taste is very simple [wink]. The store's red bean honey is also famous, but I had to go to dinner later, so I didn't order it. I will keep it in mind for the next time. At the end there is a mouthful of homemade smoothie, which is Kyoho this season.

On the way to Hakodate Mountain, I found a dessert shop in an old house. I went in and saw that the displays inside were very Western. I ordered a set and asked the boss to help with the tea and snacks. The matcha green tea set my friend ordered was even better because it was cold and paired with the sweet cake. The boss was very enthusiastic! He taught me how to make matcha~

The Old Teahouse has a unique eclectic style of Japanese and Western styles. Sitting on the European sofa on the first floor and looking out the Japanese windows, you can also feel the fusion of styles. The signature red bean paste fruit jelly here is made of various fruits, and the glutinous rice dumplings are handmade. It is worth a try.

This is a small teahouse with a quaint atmosphere. The owner likes to collect retro furniture. The Japanese desserts are matched with Western interior decorations, which are unique. The teahouse is not big, with about 5-6 tables. I recommend the Matcha Red Bean Balls.

The tea is pretty good, light, cheap and fragrant.
