| - Disappointed by Matcha Tea & Desserts after seeing it all over IG. I ordered three things: Matcha Cream Cheese Foam, ujicha and the Hokkaido Lava Cake.
Matcha Cream Cheese Foam - similar to another reviewer's comment below, the matcha drink itself was watery, sugary, and lacked in any matcha flavor. The foam didn't have any cheese or cream cheese flavour; it tasted predominantly like whipped evaporated milk. It's not a bad taste, but not what it purports itself to be.
The ujicha was lacking in any real tea flavour. Just sugary water. But surprisingly large amount (like a Starbucks venti size), so one star there.
The Hokkaido Lava cake was the biggest disappointment of them all. I was surprised the cake was cold, because you generally need "lava" to be warm to flow. Guess what. The lava didn't flow and worse, it was bland. The cake was very eggy, tasting more like an omelette in flavour than well, cake. This was the one thing I looked forward to the most and was just let down.
$17 for all of that was a waste of money. But at least the seats were comfy and there was free wifi. Second star. I was so annoyed by the food and drinks here I hopped in an Uber to Tsujiri to make up for my experience.
Getting IG "influencers" to share your food means nothing if you can't deliver. In fact, the disappointment is even greater. If you have "matcha" in your name, I expect the matcha to be good.
