"The latte from Maruwu Seicha inside West Japantown Mall is a lot more like a milkshake. It’s made with whole Hokkaido milk, which mimics the texture and flavor of melted vanilla ice cream. But the bitterness of the matcha makes sure things don’t get too sweet. On those days when you need a little something extra, ask for a Hokkaido Snow Top—a frothy layer of cheesy milk foam that’s like sipping a liquid cheesecake. If the line here is too long, try Matcha Cafe Maiko one floor down." - julia chen 1, patrick wong
