There are those who want to see life in pink, but matcha lovers would prefer to see it in green. Good news, we have found you a spot that matches your sweet tooth. Let's go to rue Volta, in the third district of the capital to discover Shodai Matcha, the tea and pastry shop that puts this green tea in the spotlight.
It's at a point where you almost don't know where to turn. Cheese cake, roll, opera, pancake, mochi... here Matcha is declined in about ten pastries. Sometimes it is combined with raspberry, pecan or even durian in a mille-crêpes, but it remains at the heart of all the attentions. Even the most frosty among you can enjoy a matcha ice cream here.
It is also here that you can taste no less than ten matcha-based drinks. Matcha Latte and bubble-tea lovers will find what they are looking for. But other more surprising recipes including sometimes cheese, sometimes sticky rice invite you to push your greedy passion beyond what you could taste elsewhere.
For our part, we had a huge crush on the pecan mille-crêpes, a recipe that brings a pleasant crunchy note to a dessert that we could usually blame for lacking some. We also like the matcha pancake filled with whipped cream and red beans.
Let's go! Let's go for a run in the green paradise!
