The first time I came to Tendou was when they first opened and they had that promo twist mini cone special. I thought the ice cream was decent, but couldn't make much of a judgement because the mini mini cone was only 2 bites. I decided the line was not worth it, and have not been back since.
Suddenly craving matcha soft serve, I decided to give Tendou a second try. This time I ordered their twist cup. For $4.50 I thought it was reasonably priced because there was A LOT (I wish I had shared it with someone else!). The ice cream was creamy (although not the creamiest I've ever had).
The black sesame alone was quite good and flavourful as others have noted, and the matcha ice cream definitely has that authentic matcha taste. That being said, this "authentic" tea taste makes the matcha ice cream a little bit on the bitter side...and having always thought that I (snobbily) liked everything "authentic", I think I prefer my ice cream sweet. Together, the black sesame and matcha flavours don't exactly go together like vanilla and (insert any ice cream flavour here)....BUT....I still enjoyed it.
