here is another 'treat' I would not like to try,
a Tokyo dessert shop has become famous for selling a soft-serve ice-cream covered
with generous amounts of matcha powder that makes people choke when they eat
it, the Nagamine Tea Store in Tagata, Tokyo, has been serving its popular
matcha green tea ice-cream for at least four years, but it recently went viral
after being featured on national TV entertainment program, Monday Late Show, the segment focused not on the quality or taste of the ice-cream, but on
the effect it had on many of those who tried it,
videos
played during the TV show featured people trying to take a bite of the
ice-cream, only to start coughing, as the cinnamon-like matcha powder instantly
coated and dried their mouths and throats. It’s not as bad as eating a spoon of
cinnamon, because the soft ice-cream reduces the dryness, but it’s still pretty
bad, the matcha-flavored ice-cream is pretty much
covered in a blanket of matcha powder, so if you take it in a cone, and take a
big bite, you’re almost guaranteed to choke and start to cough. Taking small
bites, or eating it from a cup, with a spoon, helps, if
you’re curious about the taste, this basically a matcha green tea supercharged
dessert, with the bitter matcha powder balancing out the sweetness of the
soft-serve ice-cream, I know I should not say this, but watching the video I could not help myself chuckling as people tried the ice cream!
