Uji-en Hong Kong has had a soft launch in Harbour City’s Gateway Arcade.

Officially opening on December 15, the Japanese dessert cafe features tea, matcha and hojicha, as well as parfait, soft-serve ice cream, tiramisu and candy.

The cafe is run by a Kyoto tea company that traces its roots back to 1869. Items can be eaten in store or taken home, including its range of traditional Japanese teas.
