Motchimu, a Japanese tea room in Sao Paulo, Brazil

🍡 Motchimu: São Paulo’s Japanese Tea House for Daifuku Decadence (Neutral Review) Spotted on Instagram, this tea house caught my eye—but visiting near closing time meant only grabbing daifuku to go. Here’s an honest take: good for aesthetics, but pricey for what you get. 🌟 The Daifuku Dilemma: Small Bites, Big Price Tag Size & Cost: Bottle cap-sized daifuku cost ~R$10 each. 🥄 Premium ingredients are evident, but the portion-to-price ratio stings. Flavor Trap: Most flavors (except red bean and date) use chocolate as a base. 🍫 Even as a sweets lover, the richness got overwhelming—stick to bitter notes to cut the sugar. Recommendations (If You Must): Matcha / Hojicha: Earthy tea flavors balance the sweetness; Coffee / Dark Chocolate: Bitter undertones save them from being cloying. Avoid at All Costs: The jujube-flavored daifuku—so sugary it stuck to my throat. 😬 💡 Service & Storage Realities Tea Ceremony Vibes: Traditional decor and tea service looked inviting, but I can’t vouch for the experience. 🍵 Packaging Warning: Daifuku must be eaten same-day—no fridge! 🔥 The website warns they dry out horribly (trust me, day-old ones are inedible). 🌟 Final Verdict: Style Over Substance? Go if: You’re willing to pay for Instagram-worthy Japanese aesthetics; Bitter-sweet desserts are your jam; You want a quick tea house photo op. Skip if: You crave affordable, satisfying sweets; You hate chocolate-based everything; You prefer substance over style. Motchimu delivers on presentation but falls short on value. Try it for the experience, but don’t say I didn’t warn you about that jujube daifuku! 📸✨ 📍 Address: (Insert location from original post) #SaoPaulo #Brazil #JapaneseTeaHouse #Daifuku #FoodReview
