Enjoying the Bittersweet Taste of Matcha Ice Cream
Taking the ice cream out of the package, you’ll notice the signature look of the “European Waffle Sandwich.”
Here’s what it looks like when cut in half—the vibrant green matcha ice cream is wrapped in a chocolate coating.
The crispy waffle has a pleasant crunch and a mild nuttiness that pairs perfectly with the smooth, melt-in-your-mouth chocolate and flavorful matcha ice cream.
The matcha has a rich aroma, a subtle bitterness, and an umami depth that creates a refined taste. The balance between the waffle, chocolate, and matcha ice cream is just right.
At 85ml, it may seem small, but the satisfying texture and depth of flavor make it feel more indulgent than its size suggests.
