šµ Matcha Dessert Supreme: The Best Shaved Ice in Tokyo(1)
This weekend in Shimokitazawa, I finally tried the legendary matcha shaved ice Iād been dreaming about for yearsāand it did NOT disappoint. š After sampling dozens of famous matcha sweets across Japan, this one still stands out as the most stunning matcha dessert in recent memory. ⨠Why Itās Special Not your average shaved ice! šUnlike typical versions where the ice is bland and relies on syrup, this one is flavored with matcha, milk, and sweetness all the way through. The matcha foam on top is rich, fluffy, and barely sweetāpure, intense matcha flavor that hits you with the first bite. šThe texture is unrealāthe ice is soft and airy, not like the chunky, hard blocks you get at some old-school tea shops in Uji (where you pay Ā„1,000-2,000 just to struggle with frozen mochi). #TokyoDesserts #MatchaHeaven #ShimokitazawaEats
