Suzukien x Nanaya
An Edo-period tea house that answers Tokyo's question about technique directly: rather than one seasonal recipe, Suzukien and Nanaya sell matcha concentration itself as a graded, numbered product line, an engineering approach to a single ingredient that has no equivalent among the Kyoto tea-adjacent candidates already published. It is also a rare case in this research of an old-city institution actively partnering with a modern specialist rather than either staying still or being replaced.
What to order
Premium No. 7, the flagship of the seven-level matcha concentration range, named as the signature product in the shop's own site and in independent press.
What we know
- A tea wholesaler trading in Asakusa since the late Edo period, per its own company history, hosts a gelato collaboration with Nanaya, a Shizuoka matcha-gelato specialist
- The collaboration is built around seven graded intensities of matcha concentration rather than a single recipe, with 'Premium No. 7' as the flagship, per the opened press announcement of its 2016 opening
- Independent press (Fashion Press) covered the shop's opening on 2016-01-04 as bringing Shizuoka's 'world's most concentrated matcha gelato' shop to Tokyo for the first time outside Shizuoka
- The shop trades from inside the tea wholesaler's own Asakusa honten rather than a standalone gelato storefront, tying the frozen product directly to the tea business
