Burger King Japan brings back Kyoto tea matcha pie

Burger King Japan brought back its Watakushi no Matcha Pie, created in partnership with Morihan, a Kyoto green tea company founded in 1836.

For the Watakushi no Matcha Pie, Morihan provides prized matcha grown in Uji, Kyoto’s premier green tea-producing region.

Matcha powder goes into both the crisp pie crust and the matcha cream filling for a high-class mixture of non-cloying sweetness and gentle tea bitterness.

The pie also contains azuki sweet beans, sourced from Hokkaido, mixed in with the cream.

It is available for 220 yen (US$1.70) until April 6.
