The season when the greenery of the trees is refreshing. Starbucks has a lineup of bright green "Matcha food". We will review the Tasting of all three items at once!

◆ Matcha Cocoa Crumble Tart
Black cocoa tart is baked with a mixture of matcha and almond poodle. Matcha ganache and matcha cream are layered, and matcha powder and black cocoa crumble are topped to finish. The price is 460 yen (excluding tax, the same applies below).


Matcha cream is fluffy and light. After the milky richness, the umami spreads. The taste becomes more and more rich with matcha ganache as the boundary. It has a heavy mouthfeel and leaves a strong umami and a slight bitterness on the tongue.


The crumbled crumble is a good accent. Along with the base tart, the bitter flavor of cocoa is layered. A well-known role that fully complements the leading role of matcha.


◆ Coffee & Espresso Cake Matcha
A cake where you can enjoy the rich aroma of matcha. The price is 350 yen.


The moist dough unravels when you raise your teeth, giving off the rich flavor of matcha. The dough itself is modest in sweetness, but the coating on the top is firm and sweet, so it's a good balance. If you want to enjoy it a little richer, try topping it with whipped cream.


◆ American Scone Matcha
A scone made by putting white chocolate chunks in the dough and finishing it with matcha coating. It is recommended that you warm it up and provide it. The price is 270 yen.


The outside is crunchy and the inside has a soft texture. By warming it, the fragrance becomes even better, and the refreshing scent spreads softly. The mellow sweetness of white chocolate that I meet here and there makes me happy.


Of the three items, the best one is "Matcha Cocoa Crumble Tart". It's a little more expensive than the other two, but it's rich and quite satisfying. I also like the variety of textures such as cream, crumble, and ganache.
