I'm a big fan of all things Matcha! I especially love Matcha Cafe Maiko. I thought the location of this store was a bit odd, I figured it would have been a bit closer to the strip, especially since its so popular. I felt like it was a bit of a journey to get here...
Regardless, its worth the trip.
#sugar:
~ 01 Ube & Black Sesame Soft Serve Swirl - 5/5
This was either the newest flavor or a flavor we didn't have in the Bay Area. Excellent, not too sweet, nor did it have an artificial taste to it.
~ 52 Matcha Panna Cotta - 5/5
A perfect Matcha Panna Cotta. This should be the definition of Japanese & Italian Fusion! Not too sweet, Creamy, silky without being bitter. Brilliant!
~ 53 Yuzu Panna Cotta - 5/5
Another brilliant Matcha Panna Cotta! I wan't so sure about this one... sometimes Yuzu items can be a bit to tart or tangy for me. Not the case;
Not too sweet, citrusy , creamy, silky without the tartness or tanginess. Brilliant!
~ MATCHA CREAM PUFF - 5/5
Another excellent Matcha treat! The ad by the entrance said "While Supplies Last!" I'm not sure if that means the Matcha Cream Puff was a limited edition item. I reckon it should be a regular item on the menu.
When I stopped by this location (way back in Jan. 2023) they had items I haven't seen at my local stores in the Bay Area:
- Matcha Gelato Pint
- Crepe Cake
- Sandwiches
- Ice Cream in addition to Soft Serve!
I wonder why that is...
If only I had more time to try all of it!
