| - After waiting almost one full hour in the sweltering heat (first outside, then inside the bakery) for Uncle Tetsu's cheesecake, I was crazing a frozen treat, so I hopped next door to Uncle Tetsu's Matcha Cafe for the matcha soft serve.
I ordered the matcha and milk twist in a cone. I thought the serving that I received was reasonable for the price, but it seems as though there can be quite a bit of variability in this, as I saw others leave with far fewer/skinnier swirls. In terms of the flavour, the matcha flavour was quite nice, although it could have been just a bit stronger. The earthiness of the matcha was nicely balanced by the sweetness of the milk flavour, which is reminiscent of Momofuku's Cereal Milk soft serve (as another reviewer already noted.) What I didn't enjoy so much, unfortunately, was the texture of the soft serve - icy instead of creamy-smooth. As a result of the iciness, the ice cream (ice milk maybe?) melted quite quickly, which compromised the integrity of the cone (i.e., made it soggy), which came very close to resulting in a ruined white t-shirt (drips!)
Overall an average matcha soft serve ice cream experience.
