Uji Matcha: The smoothie uses premium Uji Matcha, a type of green tea powder famous worldwide for its vibrant color, deep aroma, and rich flavor, sourced from Kyoto.
-
A Historic Collaboration: The matcha comes from Kitagawa Hanbei Shoten (北川半兵衞商店), a historical tea wholesaler in Kyoto with a 164-year history, ensuring an authentic and robust taste.
2. The Unique Self-Serve Process (Making Your Smoothie)
Unlike pre-made bottles, this is a fresh, made-to-order smoothie, which is part of the fun!
-
Find it in the Freezer: Grab the frozen cup (Matcha-colored ice cubes inside!) from the freezer section.
-
Pay at the Register: Take it to the cashier.
-
Use the Smoothie Machine: Head to the dedicated Seven Café Smoothie machine (usually next to the coffee machine). Peel off the lid's seal, place the cup in the slot, and press the button.
-
Wait 70 Seconds: The machine blends the frozen matcha cubes with milk, creating a rich, creamy, and satisfyingly thick smoothie, ready in about 70 seconds.
3. Taste Profile & Appeal
-
Rich & Aromatic: It has a highly aromatic and intense matcha flavor with a pleasant bitterness (ビター) that is balanced by a creamy sweetness. It’s definitely matcha-forward, not just a sweet green drink.
-
Texture: It is thick and smooth (もったり), providing a great mouthfeel.
-
Health Trend: It aligns with the global trend for matcha, which is often viewed as a healthier alternative to coffee or sugary drinks.
