Iced Matcha Float is a cold matcha green tea poured over ice and topped with matcha ice cream. Unlike a popular Iced Matcha Latte, the matcha itself is not sweetened in this recipe. A refreshing and slightly bitter matcha goes wonderful with creamy and sweet matcha ice cream. It’s a perfect dessert drink to enjoy on a hot summer day!
Cream Soda is melon-flavored soda with ice cream on top, and it is a popular soft drink at Japanese “Kissaten” cafes (not cafes like Starbucks), which serve Spaghetti Neapolitan and Hot Cakes along with coffee and other drinks. Cream Soda is loved among kids for its sweet taste, but adults can enjoy it too, of course. People who know Kissaten culture will love to try this nostalgic soft drink again.
Green tea flavored desserts are so widespread all over the US today, and it seems like Green tea Ice Cream is as popular here as in Japan. Because green tea goes so well with milk products Green Tea flavor is understandably a delicious choice for ice cream. Green Tea Ice Cream is a Japanese dessert everyone knows in the US even outside Japanese food.
Dorayaki, one of the most popular traditional Japanese sweets, has many not-so-traditional variations. Some come with whip cream, some with custard, and some with fruit. My new favorite has ice cream (and don’t forget the Anko!) Think of it like ice cream sandwiches here in America. I have to tell you, it’s truly addictive.
