オーガニックスキンケアブランドが作った本格ティースタンド／KOTOSHINA茶屋【寄稿記事】

July 13, 2024 open

Today, I would like to introduce you to a wonderful tea stand [KOTOSHINA Tea House].
This store is located on the first floor of a shopping spot called [Kyoto BAL] in Kawaramachi, Kyoto, where you can find clothes, books, and other items. I had been curious about it for a long time and finally went there.
The location is between Gion-Shijo and Sanjo Stations of Keihan Railway and within walking distance from Hankyu Kyoto Kawaramachi Station. It is located near the entrance facing Kawaramachi-dori, so you can easily find it if you go to [Kyoto BAL].

1.What is KOTOSHINA?

KOTOSHINAは2012年に誕生した京都発のオーガニックスキンケアブランドで、ティースタンドのあるフロアにKOTOSHINAのショップも併設されています。京都宇治の有機緑茶園とフランスのオーガニックコスメ専門メーカーと提携し、化粧水など多彩なコスメを展開しています。全ての商品に有機緑茶成分が配合されていて、提携する緑茶農園で作られた上質な緑茶が使用されているのが特徴です。フランスの有機認証機関「QUALITE FRANCE」にも認証されている、こだわりがつまったコスメブランドです。

2.KOTOSHINA's first tea stand [KOTOSHINA Tea House]

KOTOSHINA's first tea stand [KOTOSHINA Tea House] opened in July 2024.
Upon entering the restaurant, you will be impressed by the sophisticated brick-toned space, with a kitchen space and tables indoors and outdoor seating in the back. There is a large tea kettle at the counter, and you can watch up close as the staff prepares matcha tea using tea utensils. It is rare to find a cafe where you can experience the authentic atmosphere of tea ceremony.

3.Authentic "Organic Matcha Latte

この日は平日の昼過ぎだったので、お席に少し余裕がありましたが、土日は満席のこともあるらしいので、ラッキーでした。注文したのは「有機抹茶ラテ」（880円）。抹茶ラテが好きで行ったカフェのメニューにあれば飲むのですが、甘すぎると抹茶の風味が損なわれがち。しかし、こちらの抹茶ラテは濃厚なのに飲みやすく、お茶の風味がしっかり感じられる一杯でした。ミルクとのバランスも絶妙で、茶葉本来の甘みが楽しめます。お好みでシロップを追加できるので、少しだけ試してみたら、さわやかな甘さが良いアクセントになりました。

In addition to tea, we also offer organic Japanese black tea, seasonal drinks, and sweets, so next time I would like to enjoy another menu item. Tea will be even more delicious in the coming season, so please try our matcha menu full of our specialties.
