I've had the regular uncle tetsu cheesecake before, but I really wanted to try the matcha one. I love the cheesecake here because its texture is light and fluffy. There is still a strong cheese flavour without it being too heavy. I also like that they include a cheesecloth. I wonder if that is to hold the cake together because they're often used to keep cheese curds from falling apart.
The matcha cheesecake can be purchased as the original matcha or you can have red bean added to it for the same price. I got the regular because I personally don't like red bean. The texture remains consistent for an uncle tetsu cheesecake - light and fluffy and cheesy - but the matcha flavour disappointed. It did not come through strongly at all, so it was almost like having the regular cheesecake, except that it's green. I hoped maybe the soft serve would provide the matcha flavour; unfortunately, that fell short as well. The soft serve tasted like artificial green tea powder rather than the strong matcha flavour that I was expecting.
Overall, if the line is too long on the original side, I would definitely go to the matcha store to grab a cake since it is still delicious, but I had to take stars away because the matcha was a true let down. If you're looking for an authentic matcha taste, you won't find it here :(
