Yojiya has introduced a limited-edition lineup of matcha crepes and monaka sweets at its Sagano Arashiyama store in Kyoto. These unique takeout treats feature the brand’s iconic aburatorigami (oil-blotting paper) design, creatively incorporated into the sweets.
The new menu highlights visually striking and flavorful matcha desserts, perfect for visitors exploring the scenic Sagano Arashiyama area during the autumn season. This release offers a fresh take on popular sweets, combining traditional flavors with innovative presentation.
The takeout-only menu includes the matcha crepe priced at ¥980 (tax included), matcha ice monaka and hojicha ice monaka each priced at ¥500 (tax included). These items are exclusively available at the Sagano Arashiyama store starting September 10, 2026, while supplies last.
About Yojiya’s New Matcha Sweets
Yojiya’s beloved crepe, discontinued in 2024, makes a comeback with enhanced ingredients and a fresh design featuring aburatorigami-themed monaka wafer toppings that add a crispy texture contrast to the chewy crepe. The crepe includes matcha cream, matcha brownie, sweet red bean paste, and gyuhi rice cake. Alongside the crepe, two new monaka sweets sandwich matcha or hojicha ice cream with gyuhi inside aburatorigami-inspired monaka shells, offering a fun and portable way to enjoy these traditional flavors.
Highlights
- Matcha crepe includes chewy mochi and brownie pieces with a crispy monaka wafer topping resembling aburatorigami paper.
- Two new monaka sweets feature rich Uji matcha and roasted hojicha ice cream paired with soft gyuhi rice cake.
