This matcha tea shop is located inside Mitsuwa Marketplace. They sell very high quality Japanese matcha from Kyoto. They have multiple varieties of matcha drinks and ice cream and desserts. There is quite a difference in flavor of matcha since the tea powder are authentic. Parking is plenty in the outside lot. It’s probably more healthy option versus the super sweet boba tea drinks that are sold elsewhere.

This is possibly the best place for matcha soft serve! I tried their mixed premium matcha and vanilla soft serve and strawberry matcha latte (milk alternatives soy and oat available). This is located in the food court of the Mitsuwa Marketplace in Torrance. I will definitely come here again for their soft serve.

Very delicious green tea matcha soft serve. This is legitimately an adult taste because it is not sweet whatsoever. Come early because some of their specialty items such as parfait might be sold out. They have a famous brand and very high quality from Japan so I recommend buying the matcha powder for tea at home.

The matcha latte is so good! And can’t get wrong with their matcha soft serve, it is not that sweet and strong matcha flavored
