Served chilled and slightly frozen, the cheesecake comes in a really huge slice that might be best shared! Fret not as this cheesecake wasn’t too overwhelming or rich, with a pleasant, tangy yogurt-alike flavour that somehow resembled a tofu cheesecake instead. Hence it was lighter and easier to the palate, which I managed to finish on my own, along with another scoop of matcha ice cream, which was offered on the house due to the 30 minutes waiting time for this cheesecake despite my prior reservation. On the downside ,matcha flavour was rather weak here, with only subtle distinctive notes in the thinnest layer of level 5. Nevertheless, it was still enjoyable as a cheesecake, along with a crisp and crumbly Oreo cookie base.
2️⃣No.5+ Matcha ice cream [3800 KRW ~> $4.50]
Still the BEST matcha ice cream to me in Seoul, serving from level 1 to 5+ of matcha! 🍵 No doubt I got the highest level, which held a distinct, umami earthy note coupled with a lingering bitter undertone which I adored greatly! 💕 The texture was thick, smooth, creamy and pretty dense which didn’t melt as fast too, allowing a prolonged enjoyment.
3️⃣Matcha milk tea [ 3800 KRW ~>$4.50]
Weaker matcha flavour as compared to the gelato that leans towards the milky flavour profile, with only a mild earthy note. Tbh I ordered this solely for the sake of the bottle (and the gram😅) which I kept and reused it as a water bottle 🤭. For those who aren’t hardcore matchaholics, you might enjoy this “sweet matcha” beverage! ~ .
