In collaboration with the expertise of "BLUE SKY," it will offer menus featuring matcha, finely ground powder of green tea leaves, which have proven popular among foreign visitors to Japan. Over 150 years since Tsuji Rihei founded his Uji tea business, it has carried on its tradition of spreading the charm of tea, now boasting a legion of fans abroad. Its quality as well as its view of the world is regarded as exceptional even by ancient capital Kyoto's standards. At the cafe, guests will enjoy a wide variety of menus, including sweets such as soft-serve ice cream and parfait amply flavored with high-quality, highly fragrant Uji matcha, various kinds of tea, and light meals such as "soba" and "udon" noodles. The space inside the cafe is designed with motifs depicting traditional Japanese culture and the history of Kyoto, entertaining guests with "wa" or the essence of Japan before their departure. All the staff at "Tsujirihei Honten KIX BLUE SKY Store" are looking forward to offering hospitality to guests during their pre-flight time there.
