A Connoisseur’s Dream Dessert Returns
This marks the sixth collaboration between “maccha lover” and “d:matcha kyoto,” known for their previous hit, a butter sand that sold 3,000 units in less than two days. Now, the much-adored matcha terrine is back online after approximately 14 months, promising an unparalleled matcha experience.
The terrine is crafted with the rare Kyoto-grown “Gokou Ichibancha” matcha, a premium first-flush tea prized for its rich umami. The creators pursued the “maximum delicious matcha concentration,” resulting in a dessert that delivers a profound, sophisticated matcha flavor rarely found in commercial sweets. Its sticky, velvety texture melts in the mouth, releasing the full depth of matcha’s umami.
Experience the Flavor at Various Temperatures
Curiously, the intensity of matcha flavor can vary with temperature. It is suggested that a colder temperature might soften the matcha’s notes. Experimenting with different serving temperatures can reveal new dimensions of flavor and texture, allowing you to discover your preferred way to enjoy this delicacy. Simply cut the desired portion and thaw it before indulging.
Product Details: The Rich Matcha Terrine
This special terrine uses an astonishing 19g of matcha per bar, equivalent to about 10 cups of ceremonial matcha. It features the organic, pesticide-free, and organically fertilized “Gokou” matcha, a truly rare and high-grade varietal that only a tea farmer like d:matcha kyoto can provide. The product is a result of over half a year of meticulous development, with countless prototypes refined to achieve perfect balance in taste and texture.
