🍵 Matcha Wonderland in Uji, Kyoto — Where Every Bite Tastes Like Green Gold 💚

Tucked away just a short train ride from Kyoto city, Uji is a peaceful town bursting with matcha magic. If you think you’ve tried matcha before—wait till you experience it here, in the very place it was born. The streets are lined with charming shops offering creative matcha-infused treats you won’t find anywhere else. Think matcha gyoza (yes, savory and green!), matcha takoyaki with a surprisingly rich umami twist, and ice-cold matcha drinks so smooth you’ll want a second round. But the best part? It’s surprisingly affordable. You can snack your way through Uji without breaking the bank—picking up premium matcha sweets, biscuits, mochi, and more at prices that feel like a steal compared to downtown Kyoto or Osaka. Whether you’re a hardcore green tea fan or just curious, Uji is a must-visit for a taste of Japan’s most iconic flavor—done right. 💚🍡#osakaitinerary
