| - Must try: Chiffon Cake Sundae
I wanted to try this place before it became so popular, and almost didn't want to after it blew up (not literally, of course) ... I was obviously sceptical, is it really THAT good?
Turns out it's good, but not quite good enough to warrant the huge lines. I went on a day when it was icy and cold, so no lines for me.
What they are going for is matcha infused goodness, and they do it well. The tea flavour is strong but not overwhelming, it was earthy bordering nutty. A very enjoyable, guilt-free option as far as sweets go.
The Chiffon Cake Sundae is a real treat. Aside from the soft serve, there is also a good chunk of green tea chiffon cake. When it soaks up the melting ice cream, it's quite delicious (I know people people who don't like their food getting soggy, so this would not be for them). To me the highlight was actually cornflakes with matcha ice cream, something about the crunchiness and the leafy flavour works well together. The red bean ball was alright, I tolerated its existence in my medley of flavours. The Shiratama sundae was alright, I'm personally not a big fan of Mochi, and the soy bean flake thingy they put on it tickles my throat.
Overall it's a good treat, but I think I was way more excited by the creativity of the Sweet Jesus soft serve or the variety of Bang Bang ice cream to be overly blown away by this new introduction.
