At Komichi Tea House, a novel Japanese cafe tucked away at a serenity corner of Lorong Toh Aka, where Matcha is everywhere as well as everything. For the uninitiated, Matcha (or known every bit Japanese Green Tea) is making its mention inwards the nutrient as well as drinkable scene worldwide inwards recent years; the season is to a greater extent than intense than Chinese Green Tea, amongst a bolder bitter end. Komichi is 1 specialist when it comes to Matcha, the entire cafe is Matcha-centric. One of the partners' manly someone rear owns a Tea Farm inwards Nippon as well as needless to say, the Japanese Green Tea is straight imported from there. The immature adult woman who is know residing inwards Penang owns a cafe-dream as well as now, managed to plough the dream into reality. The carte du jour is really Matcha-focused amongst an array of serious Matcha beverages as well as about Matcha-infused home-bakes. Nothing spectacular nearly the interior decor but rather, an unpretentious as well as earnest identify to savour a adept serving of Matcha delights.
Matcha Chiffon Cake (Rm 6)
Anmitsu (Rm 8)
Matcha (Rm 11)
While most Matcha desserts that nosotros are familiar amongst tend to hold out sweetness but it's quite the contrary at Komichi. The Matcha imbibe nosotros had was inwards its purest form, it hits the palate amongst a bold seaweed-vegetal similar season followed past times a mellow but lingering bitterness. We paired the imbibe amongst Matcha Chiffon Cake as well as Anmitsu. The Chiffon Cake was piddling denser than expected but the magical mix of the whipped Cream as well as Anko (sweet Japanese Red Bean Paste) heightened the flavors. The creamy rich cream elevated the distinctive Matcha season acre the Anko provided the quintessential sweetness demeanor on to the cake; for someone amongst depression saccharide tolerance level, I constitute the sweetness was inside my acceptable range.
It's uncommon to uncovering Anmistu inwards Penang, the traditonal Japanese sweetness process is a favorite summertime dessert inwards Japan. It is oft made amongst Agar-Agar Jelly, Azuki Bean Paste as well as about delicious Mochi; for Komichi's case, it is served amongst Matcha Syrup. It was refreshing as well as low-cal at the same time, all the same introducing a sleek sweetness to the palate but it lacked the whack of Matcha season inwards our opinion. If you lot are looking for something to satiate your Matcha craving, Matcha Chiffon Cake may hold out a meliorate option.
