Tokyo Natural Yeast Premium Kyoto Uji Matcha & Red Bean Bread 95g

Matcha and red bean is one of those pairings that feels genuinely Japanese — the slight bitterness of the tea balancing the mellow sweetness of the azuki, each element making the other taste more like itself. This Premium Kyoto Matcha and Red Bean Bread from Tokyo Natural Yeast brings that combination into a soft, naturally leavened bread that works just as well as an afternoon snack as it does a light breakfast.
The matcha used here carries a nod to the Uji region of Kyoto (Tokyo), which has long been considered the home of Japan's finest green tea — an area where the flavour tends toward depth and a clean, grassy finish rather than bitterness alone. Paired with the chunky ogura-style red bean paste inside, the result is layered and satisfying without feeling heavy.
The dough itself is made with natural yeast and slow fermentation, giving it a tender, airy crumb that absorbs the filling well. It is lovely alongside a cup of sencha or hojicha, and equally at home with a simple black coffee if you prefer contrast over harmony.
A well-composed bread that feels like a proper treat, not just a snack.
