Dessert
Matcha Hanato is a delicate, Japanese-inspired dessert that combines smooth textures with subtle, earthy flavours. Made with blended tofu and gently set with agar agar, this dessert has a soft, silky consistency that melts in the mouth. Lightly sweetened and infused with matcha, it offers a beautiful balance of creamy richness and mild bitterness. Chilled to perfection and served with a hint of milk-based matcha drizzle, Matcha Hanato is both refreshing and elegant. Ideal as a light dessert or afternoon treat, it’s a unique, wholesome option for those who enjoy refined, minimal flavours.
