This matcha specifically can be transformed into such a delicious foam to put on top of milk and with ice cubes. If you couldn’t tell I absolutely love making matcha, especially the traditional way. I have bought Marukyu Koyamaen Wakatake matcha twice already in the past year, it lasts a good time, considering how many people I make it for while also making it for myself.
