“Matcha Affogato” for the very first time at a cafe in Tokyo


The other day, I had “Matcha Affogato” for the very first time at a cafe in Tokyo. Affogato is a traditional Italian espresso-based treat that I am sure many of you have tried before.
This one, however, is matcha on top of matcha ice cream served with red beans jam and rice‐flour dumplings!
As much as I loved the taste, I loved the way they served it; you get to whisk matcha and put it on the ice cream yourself! It was a bit of a Zen moment in the heart of Tokyo! lol
