| - Amazing, amazing, amazing! I had my heart set on the hojicha (roasted green tea) waffle bowl. Even though the cashier was in the beginning was trying to promote hojicha over matcha (green tea leaves finely grounded into powder vs roasted green tea), I did not need any kind of convincing at all. It honestly just looks like chocolate but I really had no idea what it might taste like, knowing what I know.
About the dessert I had: it came with 2 mochi balls which were chewy and bouncy, hojicha ice cream, with red beans, and jellies which I am 95% sure made of agar. It was all in all a very simplistic yet aesthetic dessert. The hojicha was deep, and rich in a "smoky" way...if I can put an analogy to it. It's a very unique taste and I highly recommend trying it over matcha. Don't get me wrong, matcha is tasty but it is totally overhyped. Move over matcha, there's a new hojicha in town!
I would recommend ordering desserts here that aren't too similar to Tsujiri. For example, I steered clear of their sundaes because I don't think it would be that much different. Sayro also sells some chocolates on the side and they offer cake slices like mont blanc (will try next time), strawberry shortcake etc. I bought some matcha brownies to take home because why not? I am glad I made that decision because it was the tastiest and the only matcha brownie I ever had: moist, slightly sweet and balanced, with some pieces of nuts.
I am in love and will be a regular, I predict at this place. Another quick comment, the cashier was very friendly as well and welcoming. Bonus points for that!
