Izumi Matcha
if you’re ever just strolling thru japantown in sf, i highly recommend trying maruwu seicha. i mean.. the color speaks for itself. they even have matcha cheese tarts that are just as good as their lattes.
they had so many different flavors you can pair with matcha, like guava, matcha cold brew, taro, you can name them.

by far the best matcha i’ve tried in washington. i just came back from japan and was craving it and this hit the spot!! the staff was so kind and accommodating as well, the whole experience was 10/10. even if you sit at the bar, the baristas in front...

this made me feel like i was in japan again. their parfait cups were so nicely layered with mochi, cornflakes, matcha, red bean, etc. i will say tho that their matcha lattes were not it. it was a bit too bland and clumpy, but their matcha ice cream i...
