High quality matcha soft serve. Their matcha shave ice is worth a try too. Delicious dessert spot only if you love matcha.

### user_9e579b — 5.0/5 · Jun 10, 2025
It’s harder to find matcha that’s not overpowered by sweeteners, but this place knows a great balance. I loved the drink I got (middle) that was served with Nilla cookie crumbs on top. Service was quick and easy

### franki_deals — 5.0/5 · Dec 31, 2025
The green tea ice cream has a very authentic green tea flavor, truly representative of traditional Japanese green tea ice cream.

Sometimes the best sweet treats are not too sweet! 🍵
The sponge cake topping was recommended by the lovely cashier!  Tbh, i probably could have done without the topping, the soft serve was so refreshing and it had the texture of a more water based soft serve rather than cream base which I personally love!  The space itself was small and connected to other snack stalls which gave it an outdoor market sort of feel to it 😊

### tiffoodi — 5.0/5 · Dec 17, 2024
