Original Matcha “ENISHI” RYUOUEN × HOTEL THE MITSUI KYOTO
This year marks the 150th anniversary of RYUOUEN, a venerable Kyoto teahouse that has been supplying tea to HOTEL THE MITSUI KYOTO since its opening. In collaboration with RYUOUEN, we have created our original matcha, ENISHI. Blended with freshly harvested tea leaves from this year’s crop, this light yet profound usucha (thin tea) offers a refined balance of delicacy and depth.
The name ENISHI, symbolizing the lasting bonds between our guests and the hotel, graces this special matcha created in celebration of our 5th anniversary.

This refined matcha, once cherished by Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu, is celebrated for its rich and elegant flavor.
Guests can also enjoy a tasting of our original matcha, ENISHI, alongside this special Kuchikiri Matcha, accompanied by confections crafted by our pastry chef—an exclusive chanoyu experience unique to HOTEL THE MITSUI KYOTO.
