[Kinshi Masamune] Kyoto Machiya Mugishu assortment of special local beers

This set contains an assortment of three of Kyoto Machiya Mugishu's popular craft beers: Kölsch (Kyoto Machiya Mugishu), Alt (Kyoto Hanamachi Mugishu), and Dry Stout (Kyoto Heian Mugishu). Each beer is inspired by the Kyoto dialect, with "Karuosu" for the light, refreshing Kölsch, "Mamari" for the full-bodied, mild-tasting Alt, and "Mamari" for the bitterness and aroma of roasted malts, all of which are popular among beer connoisseurs. Dry stout, favored by beer connoisseurs for its roasted malt bitterness and aroma, is nicknamed "Kuro-osu". The beer is freshly brewed with 100% malt yeast and shipped directly from the brewery, so keep it in the refrigerator for best flavor.

[Pork buns with sauce sauce (6-piece set)

Shimidare pork buns are served only during the four days of the Gion Festival at the Beijing restaurant "Zenjo Hanpochi" in Shijo, Kyoto, and are so popular that people line up every year. The limited-edition specialty, which began mail-order sales two years ago when Corona downsized the Gion Festival, is now available through Leaf's online store. The shimidare pork buns, which are carefully handmade one by one with the hope that "everyone in town will enjoy them," are approximately 13 cm in diameter and filled with large ingredients such as pork, shiitake mushrooms, yama-kurage mushrooms, and bamboo shoots. The juices soaking into the skin and the special sauce applied afterward make the buns extremely juicy. The special sauce is served separately, so pour a generous amount of it over the top and enjoy.

[Udon] 2 sponge cakes, 10 plain slices x 10 matcha slices

Castella Udono was established in Kyoto in 1971 as a sponge cake specialty store. The founder, Tadaaki Udono, who hails from Nagasaki Prefecture, the birthplace of sponge cake, honed his skills at a sponge cake company before setting up his own business in Kyoto, and in 2001 he opened a direct sales store near Enmachi Station. Each castella is carefully baked by hand with additive-free dough using a method handed down from the time of the company's founding, and the craftsmanship shines through in the moist baked dough. An assortment of the store's most popular plain sponge cake and green tea sponge cake is now available for the first time by mail order. Don't miss out!

[The Matcha Pudding, the most popular product at Minami Yamashiro-mura (Roadside Station, Tea Kyoto), comes in two flavors: matcha green tea and the long-awaited new hojicha green tea flavor. The matcha flavor, made with a generous amount of spring-picked okumidori, a high-quality matcha produced in Minamiyamashiro Village, has a rich taste that matcha lovers can't get enough of. The hojicha flavor is made with "suna senri hojicha," an aromatic tea made by roasting high-quality local tea leaves in sand. Both are steamed slowly at a low temperature, and you will be captivated by their smooth texture. Enjoy the handmade pudding with the tea that Minamiyamashiro Village is proud of.

[Sake set (3 bottles)

[Sake set (3 bottles)

Using the technique of assemblage, two breweries that continue to brew famous sake in Fushimi, a famous sake brewing area, have come together to create this collaboration. This exquisitely blended blend of Yanagi from Tokubei Masuda Shoten, which is served in airline business class, and Junmai Daiginjo Yamadanishiki 49 from Kitagawa Honke's flagship Tomiou series, is exciting even for sake fans, and the addition of premium 10-year old sake for the kakushimi flavor brings out the best in each sake, while at the same time giving it a mild and deep finish. The result is a mellow, deep finish that makes the most of the qualities of each sake. The special taste, named MICHIRU, means "to retain an unknown taste," and can be enjoyed by comparing it with the unblended version.
