"To my knowledge, this is the only hotel in the area that serves proper afternoon tea with high-quality tea. The staff clearly understands the importance of water temperature when brewing tea, allowing the flavors and aromas of the leaves to fully develop. The tea is perfectly balanced, avoiding any bitterness. While the food may not be overly elaborate, it's clear that each item is meticulously prepared. The flavors are, of course, of hotel quality. The price is slightly higher than other options, but the experience is well worth it, offering a truly satisfying afternoon."

"Even though I'm in Tokyo, I suddenly craved the taste of Kyoto, so I went to "Tsujiri" at the Daimaru Tokyo store. I arrived at the 10th floor around 3 pm on a weekday. There were so many Tokyoites who love Kyoto, even on a weekday, there was a line and the store was packed! But it might be less crowded than the Kyoto store. There were about 5 groups ahead of me, and the wait was about 15 minutes. The turnover rate was faster than I expected. Inside, everyone was having either "Matcha Ice" or "Matcha Parfait." There are so many matcha lovers! It's also nice that they serve hojicha tea instead of water. I was torn between the "Special Tsujiri Parfait" and the "Shiratama Parfait" but ended up ordering the "Shiratama Parfait." The matcha whipped cream was surrounded by shiratama (mochi balls), and underneath was matcha ice cream, vanilla ice cream, matcha jelly, and matcha syrup. Eating matcha sweets makes me feel so grateful to be Japanese. The tea is delicious, so the parfait is delicious too. Due to the influx of tourists, there were many foreigners visiting. Matcha culture is no longer limited to Japan. *Tsujiri Tea Room* * 1-9-1 Marunouchi, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo Daimaru Tokyo Store, 10th Floor * 03-3214-3322 * 10:00 AM - 8:00 PM * Reservations not accepted * Right next to the Yaesu North Exit of JR Tokyo Station * Credit cards, electronic money, and QR codes accepted * Counter seating for 30, table seating for 50 * Closed on New Year's Day * All seats are non-smoking * The staff will refill your tea as soon as it runs out. ☆*:.。. .。.:*☆☆*:.。. .。.:*☆☆*:.。. .。.:☆*:.。. .。.:*"

"Available from 1 PM to 7 PM only I tried the Zunda Shake Extra. It's a masterpiece that combines the refreshing taste of edamame with a gentle sweetness, topped with whipped cream and zunda sauce. The zunda grains add a nice accent. I was torn between the regular Zunda Shake and this one, but since it was a limited-time offering, I couldn't resist buying it. Besides the Zunda Shake Extra, they also have the regular Zunda Shake and a Large size. How about taking a break at Daimaru Tokyo? The Zunda Shake was so good that I bought the limited-edition Zunda Shake Bar. It has a crispy texture and packs the deliciousness of the Zunda Shake into a bar. I only buy limited-edition items... I'm still weak to limited-time offers. Besides these, they also have: * Zunda Mochi (most popular) * Zunda Shake-flavored Cream Bread (staff recommendation) * Zunda Shirayuki Cheesecake * Zunda Roll This is a must-visit for zunda lovers."
