Press Butter Sand launches Izumo matcha butter sandwich and tigré at Tokyo Station
Press Butter Sand is selling two limited-edition matcha confections at its Tokyo Station 10th-anniversary concept store from November 13, 2026: a premium fresh butter sandwich and a tigré, both made with Izumo matcha from Toushuien, a heritage tea garden in Shimane operating since 1903. The matcha, blended from Saemidori and Okumidori cultivars, is grown in the cloudy San'in climate and delivers vibrant color with deep umami and suppressed astringency.
