Hotel Chorakukan in Kyoto will be holding the ``Japanese Tea Fair'' until June 6th (Sunday), where you can enjoy the pairing of tea from Kyoto's Ippodo Tea House and French sweets at the in-house cafe and restaurant.

During the event, for a limited time only, Ippodo Tea House, which handles approximately 4 brands of Japanese tea in four types: matcha, gyokuro, sencha, and bancha, will be offering newly-finished Kyoto-produced black tea and new tea.

At ``Chorakukan FRENCH LE CHENE,'' where you can enjoy French cuisine in a space that smells of Meiji romance, Japanese tea pairings are available, selected by a sommelier. The three types of matcha tea soda, sencha, and hojicha are all made by Ippodo Tea House in Kyoto, and the sencha is the new tea that just arrived this year. After the meal, we also prepared domestic black tea from Ippodo Tea.

Dessert Café Chorakukan, where you can enjoy an elegant tea time surrounded by historical furniture, will be serving Ippodo Tea's domestic black tea during the fair period. Until May 5th (Friday), there will be a set of ``Parfait Japonais'', a ten-layered anmitsu-inspired dish, and domestic black tea, and until June 30th (Sunday), there will be a traditional French sweet Marjolaine and a refreshing Hinata set. A summer set of ``Hyuga Summer Marjolaine'' and fresh green tea will be available.

Chorakukan was built in 1909 by businessman Murai Kichibei, known as the "Tobacco King," as a state guest house to entertain guests from Japan and abroad. Why not enjoy the taste of ``Japanese'' in Kyoto's modern architecture that uses architectural styles from around the world?
