Suzukien Teashop (Matcha Ice Cream), Tokyo
The Suzukien Teashop in Asakusa is a place where visitors to the city can stop for a cup of tea and some of the most unique gelato flavors that can be found in Tokyo.

Those who don't want the richest experience can choose one of the seven levels of matcha intensity. They also have flavors like strawberry, black sesame and adzuki bean.

The shop is located on Kototoi-dori Avenue. It is a short, five minute walk from the Senso-ji Temple.
