Nakamura Tokichi’s matcha specialty shop offers a wide variety of choices, from matcha parfaits and green tea jelly to green tea soba noodles. The green tea jelly has a refreshing flavor and rich tea aroma. Paired with red bean paste and shiratama dumplings, it has a bittersweet taste and a distinctly Japanese flair. Matcha lovers will easily fall in love with it after just one bite.

BEAMS Ginza
The Ginza store of "BEAMS", one of the pioneer select shops and favored by a wide range of age groups. The store consists of two floors, the 2nd and 3rd floors, with the men's and women's casual clothing on the 2nd floor and the men's dress and designer goods on the 3rd floor. The third floor features formal items such as the original "BEAMS F" brand and the imported "LARDINI" brand. There is also a salon where customers can order custom suits and shirts.
BEAMS是我個人很喜歡的服飾品牌，銀座店走的是時尚、高質感路線，整體陳列很有品味。雖然很適合來逛逛、感受品牌風格，但如果是抱著「撿便宜」的心情來，可能會有點失望，店內折扣商品不算多。喜歡BEAMS的人可以來朝聖，只是面對漂亮的商品與價格比較難下手。

Tiffany Flagship Store Ginza
Since its establishment in New York in 1837, this jewelry brand has continued to attract celebrities from around the world. In Japan, Tiffany & Co. operates stores in various locations and has three boutiques in Ginza, Tokyo. The Tiffany Ginza Flagship Store, located along Chuo-dori Avenue, is positioned as the flagship store in Japan, where customers can enjoy an elegant shopping experience in a luxurious interior.
The Tiffany Ginza Flagship Store is very close to the Mitsukoshi department store. The iconic Tiffany Blue sign and window displays always make you want to take a second look. In recent years, the favorable Japanese yen exchange rate and tax-free shopping have attracted many international travelers to Japan specifically to buy jewelry and luxury goods. When shopping in Ginza, this famous store is also a popular stop for many people. Even if you don't buy anything, just browsing is a real treat!

Ukokkei-an “Silkie Egg Castella”
A signature product from Ukokkei-an, which operates a dedicated farm center for raising silky chickens deep in the mountains of Kanazawa, Ishikawa, surrounded by lush trees. True to its name, it’s made with plenty of fresh eggs laid by silky chickens as a main ingredient, and each loaf is carefully baked by skilled craftsmen from preparation through baking.
When visiting Kanazawa, it’s really easy to be drawn in by all the glittering gold leaf desserts! I’d heard that Ukokkei-an’s Silkie Egg Castella was quite famous, so I made a special trip to check it out. Made with silkie chicken eggs, the cake has a rich egg flavor and a delicate, moist texture, with the natural sweetness of honey. The top is covered with a layer of shimmering gold leaf, making it a distinctive souvenir as well.
