Imuraya Wagashiya No Mizu Yokan Matcha Green Tea Jelly 83g

Where the Ogura variety of Imuraya's Wagashiya Mizu Yokan builds its appeal on the warmth of azuki bean, this Matcha version takes a cooler, more aromatic direction. The jelly is smooth and firmly set with a vivid green colour and a clean matcha flavour — slightly bitter, distinctly grassy, and gently sweet in the way that well-made Japanese matcha wagashi tends to be. The base is a kidney bean paste, which gives a lighter, more neutral backdrop for the matcha to come through clearly without competition. Served chilled, it is particularly refreshing, and the combination of matcha and the cool, yielding texture of mizu yokan is one of the more elegant pairings in Japanese confectionery. Entirely free from all 28 Japanese designated allergens.
