All About Hojicha
Hojicha Latte ($6) (up: $3) (weekday promotions)
I felt that their hojicha latte was slightly oxidised as the bubble popped out from the surface of the drink. The hojicha powder didn't absorb well with milk and left on the bottom of the drink.
Hojicha Pate A Choux
I didn't expected that their hojicha to be so good and also impressed by their strong roasted tea taste depends on their cream puff even though they are under matcha speciality shop. I also highly recommended to try this instead of matcha flavour. I also did saw black seasame (kurogama) flavour also and didn't sell much on the display.
finally tried hojicha oat latte ($6.80) w buckwheat pearl ($1.50) i really enjoy the hojicha's taste so better than gongcha (no offence). their hojicha absorb well with oat milk. Buckwheat pearl still chewy and not that hard. their pearl still chewy when u drink once they passed the drink from the counter. my advice is just drink on the spot instead of bring the drink to home.
Hojicha Oat Milk (M Size) ($6.90)
finally give a try for this drink on last mth (Nov) but oat milk from oatside really taste weird without stirring throughout the drink. hojicha was not that strong enough tbh. I haven't tried playmade for Hojicha Oat Milk yet.
Hojicha Mixed Cone ($1.20)
hmmm i felt that it's not strong roasted tea bc of too much milk contained ice cream and also covered up by strong vanilla flavour.
Iced Hojicha Latte ($7.20)
I did know that they sell hojicha latte but not all outlet will have so depends on which outlet u went also. Hojicha is quite milky and mild taste in roasted tea.
Hojicha Brownie (hmmm under matchalax's bucket list) - got mild roasted tea taste with gooey mixed dark chocolate. but i managed to cut into half with solid hojicha melted off.
Hojicha Lava (hmmm under matchalax's bucket list) - got mild roasted tea taste with gooey mixed white chocolate. but i managed to cut into half with chunks of hojicha lava melted off.
Hojicha Swiss Roll ($7) hmmm its quite nice and interesting fusion for sweet potato and hojicha cream. But I felt that hojicha cream for roasted tea aftertaste was still there but sweet potato taste barely (a bit and not too much). The hojicha cream and sweet potato paste was really smooth in terms of texture and feel.
Hojicha Yuzu Opera Cake ($9) (exclusive cake on father's day) (4/5) I felt that their cake usually up to the standard in terms of the flavours and taste. I felt that the dark chocolate (bitter) and hazelnut (nutty) covered up hojicha (roasted tea) and yuzu (light and sour) flavour and taste. But if you separate the layers for the cake, you should be able to taste it in different flavour individually. for my overall experience, I always like to eat and enjoy dessert but I tried my best not to eat too much stuff as I do it in the past.
Decided to order Hojicha Latte ($6.50) (iced + $1) so I felt that the proportion for milk was a bit too much but I barely taste hojicha 😅 (like light roasted tea) So do stir through the drink if you wanted balanced taste. But the hojicha didn't absorbed well with milk but just sink on the bottom of the drink.
Hojicha Mochi Crossiant ($6.80) I really like this combination for mochi. It's quite soft enough but not that hard 🤌 for mochi. Hojicha was quite strong taste on the top of the crossiant. Crossiant was quite crispy enough after reheating 😅.
