it’s a menu that looks pretty large – but all permutations of sweet-cooked beans, green tea in liquid and soft-serve form, jellies, mochi and a bit of cake. not a problem – because I love all those things – but the only option for a non-matcha-lover (other than to unbefriend them) is the vanilla soft-serve. it’s a expertly-portioned bit of confectionary: sized to be satisfying without any too-muchness, and small enough so it still feels exquisite – even if you are eating out of plastic cups.
we particularly enjoy the parfaits. the just-sweet-enough soft-serve actually tastes of good matcha, and there’s good dairy in it, too (which is why the vanilla also tastes great). the mochi was nice for a sit-down snack; but I didn’t think the chiffon cake anything special.
these don’t come cheap – but the quality is fantastic, the serving sizes reasonable, and those adorably-polite japanese staff so engagingly affable you feel like you could be in japan once again.
