SUSHIRO Cafe is bringing back its yearly collaboration with Kyoto's long-established tea purveyor Morihan. From July 3 (Friday), the "Time-Honored Tea Shop's Matcha Crème Brûlée Rare Cheesecake" goes on sale at SUSHIRO locations nationwide.
Akindo Sushiro Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Suita, Osaka; President and CEO: Kohei Nii) operates "SUSHIRO Cafe," a dessert lineup built around the concept of "delicious, exciting, and thrilling." A dedicated pastry team develops the sweets, testing more than 200 prototypes a year and selecting only their favorites to serve customers.
This year's Morihan collaboration item, the Matcha Crème Brûlée Rare Cheesecake, is supervised by one of Japan's leading tea masters. It's a Japanese-style dessert built around the rich color and aroma of carefully selected matcha, using Uji matcha in a rare cheesecake base. The cheesecake is torched with a crème brûlée finish right before serving, giving the surface a crisp, crackly texture.

About Morihan, the 190-Year-Old Tea Purveyor From Kyoto's Uji, One of Japan's Three Great Green Tea Regions
Morihan is a long-established tea brand founded in 1836 in Uji, Kyoto, a region with a long history of Japanese tea production. The brand has always put customers first, building on tradition with continual innovation in pursuit of "trusted quality." Driven by an unwavering focus on quality and a spirit of challenge, Morihan developed and released products that remain popular today: "ice tea" about 100 years ago, Japan's first vacuum-canned green tea about 60 years ago, and a frothy matcha au lait about 30 years ago. Alongside its long-standing lineup of tea leaves, matcha, tea bags, and sweets, the brand continues to introduce new products. Morihan's high-quality goods are exported not only across Japan but to around 30 countries worldwide.
