thé vert partout






Being in Japan, Nakamura Toukiti is a green tea ice-cream parlour at Kyoto's train station. My parfait was made up of green tea jelly & ice-cream, red bean paste, rice bubbles, cream and a few things i couldn't recognise. It took my taste buds a little while to get used to the toned down sweetness but in the end, as with most things in Japan, i was won over by it's sheer gorgeousness.
