MY LOVE FOR MATCHA

My friends and family know that I am a huge fan of matcha!

So, What is Matcha?
Matcha is a powdered green tea from Japan that delivers health benefits. Matcha is high in antioxidants, it detoxifies the body, boasts concentration, increases energy levels, relaxes the mind and helps in weight loss.

There are so many food items that are matcha related and here are some of my top favourites! 🙂

Matcha Ice-cream
Matcha icecream has always been my favourite, I am always craving for them! Whenever I am an ice-cream parlour, I tend to choose matcha flavour if they have it!

Here are some of my favourite places for ice-cream!

Tsujiri Tea House
?????????????????????????????????????Shiratama Parfait ($7.80)

?????????????????????????????????????Chiffon Cake Parfait ($7.50)

I feel that Tsujiri Tea House has extremely good ice-cream. It was so smooth, creeamy and has a really rich green tea flavour. I am impressed the soft and chewy mochi for the Shiratama Parfait and the green tea chiffon cake for the Chiffon Cake Parfait  was a perfect combination with the soft serve ice-cream. However, I did not like the cornflakes in the middle of the parfait, thus I feel that mochis and red beans are more suitable for a green tea parfait. Being a matcha fan, I still frequent Tsujiri Tea House for some delightful and yummy green tea desserts!

Do check out their menu on their website, they serve green tea shaved ice too! 🙂

Tsujiri Tea House can be found at:

Another place for really good matcha ice-cream is a cafe named Beans & Cream. It is located in the neighbourhood at the West area and their staff are really friendly! The Kyoto-Uji matcha that they used to make their matcha green tea ice cream contains chlorella (绿藻), which has been touted as the perfect whole food that is highly nutritive to the body.

A scoop of matcha icecream costs $3.50 and with such a big scoop, it is really worth it!

Azabu Sabo Hokkaido Ice Cream has good matcha ice cream too! I tried their green tea with azuki beans and normal green tea flavour, it was good but I still prefer Tsujiri Tea House for soft serve ice-cream.

I had matcha gelato with waffles the other day at Gelato Cottage and I think it was average. Ice-cream size was smaller and price was slightly higher. Matcha ice-cream was rich but I find that their other flavours such as mocha. But I still love waffles and ice-cream. they make a great combination!

Green Tea Shaved Ice
Green Tea Shaved Ice from Ji De Chi is a MUST TRY!!! The red beans were sweet and the mochi balls were soft and chewy. However, I think the addition of Nata de Coco makes the whole dessert way too sweet, having the red beans and mochi balls should be just enough. To my surprise, the combination of all these ingredients still make it a very tasty dessert!

With such a large portion, this price is definitely worth it! This dessert can be shared between two people, it is too much for just 1.

Green Tea Cake
This sweet and heavenly treat from Lady M uses fine green tea powder that is infused into every layer in it. Their Green tea Mille Crêpes cake is a sight to behold with no less than twenty lacy thin crêpes enveloping the lightest pastry cream, vibrant green tea flavors gently humming in the background.

Green Tea Mochi
Mochi is Japanese rice cake made of mochigome, a short-grain japonica glutinous rice. I love mochis, they are sweet, soft and chewy.
