[Uji, Japan] Fantastic soba at Tsubameya つばめ屋

@Google_Gourmet No wonder the logo of your soba spot looks so familiar. Turns out Nakamura Tokichi was our last stop at Uji before we left for Gifu. We stopped by the Byodo-in branch. I think yours was nearer the JR station.

I just didn’t make the connection that it was the same place because we went for dessert only, and I didn’t even realize they served lunch elsewhere as well.

We got the two dessert items that were available for eat in only.

The Maruta Parfait with multiple layer of matcha dessert. Rather than trying to explain layer by layer, I would share their diagram.

It was interesting because its literally many desserts in one.

Matcha tea jelly and icecream. Jiggly and refreshing.

Try to get a window seat with a river view.

Wait was very long for dessert. Make sure you are ok with the wait. We wanted to stop by the tea fields at Wazuka but didn’t have enough time. So we directly drove to Gifu instead.
