KIJITORA mini — Restaurant in New York

I've been here 3 different times and have always been disappointed with their matcha & other beverages. Nekohama matcha is very bland in flavor and coupled with so much milk or water in their drinks, there is barely any matcha flavor.

And then they’re still wanna give a order for another person to me again, but...
