The signature dish is matcha shaved ice. First, let's give props to the owner grandpa ๐ด for his top - notch ice - shaving skills! Due to the pandemic, the shop is currently take - out only. Even though the shaved ice is served in a plastic container, every bite is still so light and fluffy, not clumpy. ๐๐ธ At the bottom is a layer of bitter matcha jelly, with layers of ice and matcha sauce in the middle. The layers are generously applied. The matcha cream on top is truly exceptional! Rich, slightly bitter, refreshing and not heavy. I could easily eat a bowl of just the cream! ๐ผ After finishing a cup of shaved ice and still craving more, I went for a matcha ice cream ๐ฆ. ๐๐ธ The ice cream itself is on the sweet side, but the cream and matcha sauce are still perfect. ๐ผ The cone is really full, heavy with all the goodness. The owner is really generous with the portions. ๐๐ธ Wearing green that day was just a coincidence. ๐ฟ Coat: Vintage Burberry Blue Label (a gift from a grandma I worked with; it was her daughter's when she was young) ๐๐ธ Hat: From Beams ๐ฉ #Tokyo ๐
