I confess, I am a matcha (Japanese green tea) sweets addict. And to any matcha-lover, Haagen-Dazs’ “Matcha Crumble” (available for 272 yen at most combinis) ice-cream bar is heaven on a stick. I don’t want to exaggerate, but this might just be the very best matcha flavored ice-cream to have ever reached the combinis.

 

Why? Because it packs three times the matcha than other ice-creams. Not just the ice-cream itself, but also the chocolate coating, and even the cookie crumbles on the coating are matcha flavored! As can be expected of Haagen-Dazs quality, it has a soft, creamy texture and a refined, bittersweet matcha taste. The same can be said for the crunchy coating, which shares the same depth in both flavor and texture. That’s quality and quantity in one package!
