No.1 "Uchi Cafe x Morihan Omatcha Baum Cake"
No.2 "Uchi Cafe x Morihan Omatcha Tsutsumi"
No.3 "Uchi Cafe x Morihan Doramocchi Omatcha & Cream"
The winner, "Uchi Cafe x Morihan Omatcha Baum Cake," was simply
rich in matcha green tea! The taste of matcha was simple and straightforward, and the sweetness was kept to a minimum to bring out the flavor and astringency of the tea itself, so we decided to give it first place.
Uchi Cafe x Morihan Green Tea Baum Cake
Of course, the other two products were also delicious in their own way! Below is a detailed review of each product.
Uchi Cafe x Morihan Doramocchi - Green Tea and Cream
Brown sugar filled dough wrapped in matcha green tea cream and milk cream. 235 calories. It contains 235 kcal and is priced at 225 yen (tax included). Contains alcohol (less than 1%).
The texture of the dough is quite different from that of the original dorayaki, with a springy, chewy texture. The moment you bite into a piece, the aroma of brown sugar and rich, dark sweetness spreads out. The dough is so delicious that it has a strong presence, but the matcha green tea cream inside is just as rich, so you can enjoy the Japanese combination of brown sugar and matcha green tea.
It is very tasty, but the
brown sugar was as impressive as the matcha, so it came in third place this time. If you like brown sugar, you should definitely try this dish.
Uchi Cafe x Morihan Green Tea Baum Cake
A baked baum cake with matcha green tea kneaded into the batter and filled with matcha green tea cream. 232 calories. It contains 232 kcal and is priced at 279 yen (tax included).
First, a spoonful of matcha cream, if you'll excuse me...
It's so thick! The matcha is so thick! The deep aroma of tea that leaves your nose after it softly melts is irresistible. Too delicious! As a matcha lover, I can also recommend the slightly astringent feeling it leaves on the tongue.
The soft baum dough also has a refreshing matcha aroma, and when you bring it to your mouth together with the matcha cream, the matcha flavor fills your mouth without mercy.
The matcha cream is so light and light that it melts away in an instant, but the matcha lingers in your mouth for a while. It is that thick. Overall, I felt that the sweetness was kept as low as possible to bring out the deliciousness of the matcha.
Uchi Cafe x Morihan Matcha Tsutsumi
A Japanese-style dessert with matcha cream and matcha sauce wrapped in gyuhi. It is accented with grains of red bean paste. It contains 230 kcal and is priced at 289 yen (tax included).
One bite and you will feel the triplet of happy textures of "soft, fluffy, and soft" in your mouth. How did they achieve such a perfect texture?
As soon as you try to enjoy the chunky texture, the fleeting texture of the gefi melts away and disappears. What remains on your tongue is the smooth green tea cream and thick sauce, and the simple sweetness of the hokkuri sweet bean paste that perfectly complements the green tea. It gave me the impression of a very high quality Japanese confectionery served at a teahouse or sweet shop. It is a dish to be enjoyed in a relaxed atmosphere with coffee or hojicha tea.
