If you have not tried the Genmaicha Parfait, I suggest you scurry on over asap because it won't be around beyond this Sunday (2nd Sept), if not sooner.
My order, pictured above, appears bigger and greener than what this parfait normally looks like because I had topped on Matchaya's signature matcha soft serve. The genmaicha flavour is the lighter green one squashed in the cup. I loved having both at the same time as it allowed me to taste and appreciate the difference better. In comparison to the slightly bitter matcha, the genmaicha has a toasted aroma and a gentle sweetness. So it would sit well with those of you who find matcha too intense for your liking.
What's more, the list of other yumminess in this parfait is long. There's genmaicha warabi mochi, crispy genmai rice, Okinawa kuromitsu in foam and syrup form, and last but not least, salted cookie crumbs.
I think I just convinced myself to make a trip down for another one of these before stock runs out.
