My first try on kakigori and I am sorry to admit that I would still very much prefer softserve over this! πŸ˜… Though the ice wasn’t coarse and was actually snowflake-like which resembled the korean bingsu, it does not retain its rigidity as well as a bingsu and liquefied pretty fast. Usually not a fan of cream, but I do fancy this matcha flavoured espuma that’s fluffy and cotton-like, with a distinct flavour and subtle lingering fragrance. Dig into the heap of kakigori to unveal dark chocolate cocoa nibs that added a crisp factor and a bittersweet flavor to the semi-solid dessert. The Nama chocolate mint sauce had a subtle lingering minty flavour which is cooling and refreshing, a good companion to the luscious and rich cocoa flavour.
