Thumbs up for the packaging! I was worried it would melt, but there were two bags of dry ice inside, and the ice cream was still frozen.

A bite of matcha ice cream in the mouth, first the fragrance of tea, then slowly sweetness, very layered. The texture is smooth and delicate, the sweetness is just right, not greasy at all after eating, really healing
Nikko HM
It's delicious, very matcha-flavored, but slightly bitter. Those who don't particularly like bitter matcha might not be able to accept it.

What a clever (but pricey) treat! Innovative and neat take on an ice cream sandwich. These shipped really well, and that light layer of white chocolate between the waffle and ice cream? Chef's kiss. Very delicious strawberry flavor.
Janell
It's okay, but to be honest, Häagen-Dazs tastes better.
cyy
I’ve had all four flavors of these and strawberry is by far the best one. The others are really good but this tastes and smells so much like fresh strawberries, it’s amazing. The thin coating of white chocolate provides a creamy, sweet element. I just ordered 4 more

I like it but not honestly enough to buy it again. I do love matcha and red bean, though it’s a much smaller size than I expected. I’ll be looking to try more ice cream brands/flavors.
Mia Bunny
I bought it without reading the reviews and got fooled. There are 5 small waffles in a box, and the main point is that they don't have matcha flavor, not as good as the other rectangular waffle with matcha chocolate filling.

I tried one right after receiving it. It's small but not too sinful. The red bean part is a little sweet and the matcha flavor is strong. Not bad

jinxiuchen18
Each one is small, but it is filled with bean paste and has a delicious matcha flavor! The fact that it is individually wrapped also helps keep the monaka from falling apart!
Hiroko
Same brand, this one has no matcha flavor, the bean paste is too sweet and fake, not as good as the one on the right, much worse than the one on the right, I won't buy it again, the matcha flavor on the right is very strong and not very sweet
阿修罗
It was a shame that the ice cream had melted and soaked into the box. The ice pack arrived cold, but it's hot now, so I think you need to be careful when ordering ice cream.
