To celebrate our 5th anniversary, HOTEL THE MITSUI KYOTO is delighted to announce the launch of our original matcha “ENISHI”, created in collaboration with RYUOUEN, a venerable Kyoto teahouse celebrating its 150th anniversary. ENISHI will be available from November 1st, 2025. Starting from December 1st, 2025, we will serve the “Uji Matcha and Kyoto Strawberry Afternoon Tea”, featuring ENISHI along with other Uji matcha by RYUOUEN and the finest Kyoto strawberries.
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.
