I had a strong feeling that we must try this little matcha store when we were just crossing the street. & it was out of expectation, it's the best matcha store I have ever been too so far. The matcha latte is super rich & real. They added enough milk to highlight the bitter flavour. Their service is very good. Everything is perfect, must try. We would definitely comeback to try more.

Amazing matcha desserts! 🍵💚
We tried the matcha mille-crêpe, matcha roll cake, & matcha shiratama parfait. All three were so delicious, with a rich, authentic matcha flavor & just the right amount of sweetness.
The quality was so high that it's honestly hard to find matcha desserts this good even in Japan! 🇯🇵
We visited on a weekday after 3 p.m. & there was still a constant line, which made perfect sense after trying them! Highly recommended for true matcha lovers!🍵❤?
