Tsubomi — Restaurant in Kanazawa

Food: The matcha parfait is mindblowing. it opened up my matcha hater heart and my sister's too. The matcha ice-cream is creamy without the bitter matcha aftertaste!!! The red bean soup is pretty good eaten with the plum bits provided gives it a new refreshing taste. The noodles with brown sugar was kinda mid tho like it's cool but was overshadowed by the parfait.

Service: They provided a English menu for us non Japanese speaking person and it is not priced up like those tourist trapped desert shops. Also, even though they don't speak English, they tried their best to tell us their recommended dish.

Atmosphere: Their toilet has a scenic view as you walk towards it and theirs plants...

There are several dessert options to choose from, with sets available. Service was very friendly and polite when we visited on a quiet weekday afternoon. The ambience and hospitality made it a good place to rest for a bit.

The chilled kuzukiri had a nice texture and paired well with the kuromitsu, though it somewhat lost its refreshing feeling after being dipped in the syrup. The accompanying zenzai in the set was so-so; matcha mizore on top melted...

This traditional Japanese dessert place earned its first Michelin star back in 2015 or 2016 and they’ve had it since which is one of the explanations why there’s always a line of people wanting to get in. I always go this place at least once every summer and it has always been a delight. I highly recommend the matcha kakigori, brown sugar kakigori, and zenzai. They also have a small traditional garden which gives a zen vibe and sets the mood...
