Crisp, gently sweet and possessing a good balance between green tea and buttery flavours, I have much love for the “Cigar Au Matcha”.
Launched in 2017, it was the first new flavour to be introduced by Yoku Moku in thirteen years which of course, led it to be quickly sold out in many places across Japan. It is now available in Singapore as a limited edition item in a specially designed kimono-inspired assortment tin as part of the Summer Collection. Containing a total of 22 pieces (12 pieces of classic “Cigare” with 10 pieces of “Cigare Au Matcha”), this pretty collectible of a tin retails for $56.
If you plan to pick this up or browse their range of offerings, I suggest a visit to Yoku Moku’s spanking new second standalone store at Raffles City. Not that I have been myself but it seems that the spatial design there is centered on the theme of “Omotenashi” or the Japanese act of hospitality. And that does sound interesting, doesn’t it?
