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.
Matcha Pate A Choux ($6)
hmmm I always have high expectation for matcha stuff inside the matcha speciality shop that most of people knew me since I'm a fan of matcha stuff. so like their matcha cream puff didn't met my expectation but slightly disappointed by the taste and colour like not consistent tbh. It fall between grassy and vegetal aftertaste for in my opinion. Don't treat it so serious and depends on other opinions also.
Back at matchaya and still a fan of their Japanese-flavoured desserts and soft serve. The choux was generously loaded with thick and rich matcha cream (a bit more ganache like than creamy). Rich in umami matcha flavour
A very interesting and good match between matcha and yuzu. There were so many layers in this cake, from the top the yuzu jelly layer which had jelly texture but really thick and strong yuzu flavor. There the matcha cheesecake layer, which was very rich in matcha flavour, not so much on cheese taste, and was not overly sweetened so the matcha flavor could still be tasted. There was some almond biscuits with white chocolate as the base, which was really the sweetener of the cake. The almond biscuits part was really fragrant and so familiar in taste. White chocolate was crunchy and sweet. A good balance for those who wants some sugar in their cake but I felt it was slightly too sweet.

My first time trying a black sesame choux puff and it did not disappoint. Coated in white and milk / dark chocolate, this choux puff is pretty sweet. The cream looks greyish in colour but it surprised me with its nutty bssm taste.
This would probably satisfy black sesame lovers! Will def try again.

Signature Matchaya Parfait ($16.90)
Uji Matcha (tried before and i felt that their colour change a bit lighter compared in the past), Hojicha (roasted tea)(never tried their roasted tea flavour before and strong taste in flavour), Kurogoma (black sesame) (never tried their roasted tea flavour before and light taste in flavour) and Hokkaido Milk (not available as my friend wanted to try it and they decided to switch Sakura (extra change of $1) :") (tried before and i felt that their colour still remained the same compared in the past) my friend they said that matcha & hojicha got a lot of grainy taste and texture but he didn't really like it sadly. He choose Kurogama and Sakura as for his best flavour. For me, I didn't like sakura as it just taste like cough syrup. I choose matcha, hojicha and kurogama as for my best flavour.
We can always count on matchaya to produce quality matcha milk drink. Not too sweet yet smooth and silky just the way I like it. The azuki roll puzzled me. I don't anything from the cream. Not sweet but also no taste of green tea. It might be because of the fact that I am already the matchya milk with it . I am not sure. This roll is definitely an adult taste bec the only sweetness comes from the red bean part. I think it's a good choice if you want a cake but don't want something too cloying. I might try it again with a milder tea to be certain.
Didnโt know Matchaya had sesame ice cream but here we are. This was very nutty and earthy with a slight sweetness to it. Really liked it!
I visited in early Jan 2022. I recommend the matcha azuki swiss roll cake!
I had the matcha choux and tried some of the other 2 items (the other choux didn't have matcha filling). The matcha cream for the choux and roll cake was rich and not sweet, which is great! However, the crusts for both choux were quite disappointing as they were quite soggy.

The Tokyo Beef Short Ribs ($19.90) features beef short ribs that have been braised for 3 hours in a herb-infused tomato sauce topped with garlic chips. The beef is really soft and flavourful, and the robust tomato sauce has just the right amount of sweetness and acidity. The stewed carrots and daikon are delicious, and everything goes so well with the Japanese rice. What a pleasant surprise to find such a comforting rice bowl in a green tea cafe!

just waiting for spring to roll around for this seasonal flavour to make a comeback ๐พ๐พ
Honestly speaking, this doesnโt look the most appetising. It looked very gooey and starchy with a pale colour. Though it was tasty, the portion was small as well. We came when they were having their 1-for-1 mains promotion but I donโt think itโs worth the full price.
2 x Uji Matcha
2 x Houjicha
2 x Kurogoma
My ultimate favourite is kurogoma (black sesame) because is fragrant and the sweetness is just nice for me.
