Nigocha Matcha

Super good! Parfait was packed with all sorts of toppings. There's matcha ice cream, red bean paste, jelly, dango, chocolate brownies, matcha chocolate bar and more!

FYI, ice cream can choose from Level 1 to 3. Level 3 has the highest intensity

Strawberry matcha was okay, quite generous with the strawberry bits but matcha wasn't that strong for me.

On a day when Totoro felt a little homesick for Japan, I took him on a little adventure to Nigocha Matcha for a comforting taste of home.

We settled into the cozy tatami seating area, where soft mats and low wooden table near a round shoji window, very authentic Japanese-inspired atmosphere, really made him feel like he had stepped right into a Ghibli scene!

With eager hearts (and even hungrier tummies!), we ordered:

A scoop of Genmaicha ice cream

Intense Hojicha ice cream with mochi

A soufflé with Hojicha sauce—this one took more than 30 minutes to arrive and is only available after 3 PM. But hey, if the little Soot Sprites (Susuwatari) had been in the kitchen, maybe they would’ve helped speed things up with their mischievous energy, LOL!

To refresh our palates, we sipped on their free lemon-infused water—a zesty citrus cleanse after our feast.

Their matcha ice cream pricing varies according to intensity, unlike Matcha Eight in Lalaport, where all intensities are priced the same. However, both offer the same premium matcha experience.

And of course, Totoro didn’t leave empty-handed! He happily took home a Hojicha tart, Matcha macaron, and Matcha mochi pudding tart—because good things are meant to be shared, and every adventure deserves a sweet ending!

Tried their Matcha Parfait🍦🍓& new dessert Matcha Charcoal Puff Pastry🌿
- The matcha taste good👍crispy puff pastry, custard, egg mixture & chewy mochi in every bites😋And its very big enough😮

This bustling café, renowned for its matcha & hojicha offerings, had attracted a swarm of customers despite its recent opening.

Although the Mont Blanc dessert that initially piqued my interest had already sold out, we settled for other delectable pastries.

While the pastries seemed slightly smaller than I'd bought from them previously, their flavours were rich & satisfying.

Opting for a variety, we indulged in most of the available pastries, accompanied by a pot of oolong tea with complimentary refills of hot water.

Among the treats, the hot oolong tea stood out as my favorite, its cleansing properties refreshing my palate between bites.

However, my anticipation for the matcha mochi red bean pudding tart fell short as it lacked of flavor. It taste bland but it has the most prettiest design.

On the contrary, the dacquoise proved to be exceptionally sweet though. Personally speaking, it's too much for my taste.

The matcha lava dessert served with vanilla ice cream offered a delightful sweetness, which the oolong tea effectively balanced out.

Kthxbye.

Dumb & Dumber ordered Matcha Choux, Matcha Mochi Pudding Tart, Matcha Tiramisu, Level 4 thickness Ice Cream & finish most of them (except Tiramisu) one go at around 2pm .

Right after that, Dumb & Dumber feeling nausea & dizzy for whole afternoon, night, midnight..... and experiencing insomnia as well. 😂😂😂
