So were they yummy?
Jan: Yes, they were! The same old flavor, but I liked them. But I have to say that a matcha-flavored sweet and a cup of green tea are not a very good combination. Maybe I should have had them with coffee or something (laugh).
Last picture is very mouthwatering!
Why didn’t you like it with green tea? Too much green tea flavor?
I like it with genmaicha, maybe you like to try...
In your daifuku is some matcha in mochi-dough too, right?
Amato: Yes, too much of a good thing.
As I mentioned somewher in my blog, I do like green tea, and I drink more than two liters of it every day!
Genmaicha? But it's still green tea. Maybe hojicha (roasted green tea) is better.
I have just come up with a better option: Cocoa! With little or no sugar!
Matcha in the dough? Probably, but I'm not 100% sure, because the ingredient lable include gardenia pigment (クチナシ色素).
