I travel the world #302: OKU Kyoto, the best Matcha Latte in Japan

[knozaki2015]

OKU Kyoto, the best Macha Latte I ever had

My favorite Matcha Latte is only to be had in Kyoto. There is a small but famous Restaurant called OKU. The Restaurant design is very modern but it mixes old Japanese elements. A little Japanese Garden is just outside of the restaurant.

OKU

Lunch Menu

Matcha Latte Parfait

Iced Matcha Latte

Matcha Roll Cake

If you love Matcha this is the Number 1 Place to be to get a Matcha Latte. We had the Lunch Menu before we ordered our desserts. The Lunch Menu is just 18 USD (2000 Yen) and comes with a rice bowl and a Miso Soup. It was a absolutely stunning lunch, Konyaku with Sea-Urchin, Mackerel, Bonito Sashimi and Vegetables.

Their signature drink is the Matcha Latte. I will let you know why I love this Matcha Latte so much. It is made with the best Matcha you can buy in Japan and they are not using too much sugar to sweeten it. It just has a hint of sweetness.

Combine the Latte with a Matcha Roll Cake and you will be in Heaven. The Matcha Roll Cake is so delicious that my friend who hates cake ordered a second cake.

Paging: @aizenzou @englishtchrivy @fitgirl my matcha lovers!

What a traditional cute looking place @knozaki2015 that Matcha looks refreshing but even more tasty seems to be that ice cream hmm.

[knozaki2015]

that ice cream was insane . the matcha was so great and it was not too sweet

Awesome foods, I wish to eat Japanese food.

[knozaki2015]

you can ;) japanese food is everywhere

[sulev]

Some of that food looks more art than food :P

[knozaki2015]

yes. mostly in Japan food looks like art

[indepthstory]

Quite nice pics; the food is healthy although sometimes I'll find it is a bit much greasy. Do you live in Japan ? are you just traveling and passing through? I was able, a few years ago, to come by Singapore and most of the restaurants were Chinese; attached a pic of (wife) one of those visits to the food mall.

[knozaki2015]

i think japanese food is very healty. I eat mostly fish when I am in japan. but you are right. there is unhealty stuff too.

[rangertx]

I've never had Matcha. Isn't it supposed to be super healthy?

[knozaki2015]

yep matcha is very healty ! it is good for toxic cleansing . lowering blood pressure etc.

[haydeart]

Everything looks delicious thanks for sharing it I already want to try it

[knozaki2015]

hands on. best matcha cake and latte I ever had

[mahaelsayed]

[lautenglye]
