    The matcha flavor in the soft serve is super strong and flavorful. Other ice cream places I've…read moretried in Montreal that offer matcha have very subtle green tea flavors rather than matcha but this is the pure stuff. The price is totally worth it with all of the toppings (red bean, mochi, kinako, matcha brownie, Rice Krispies). It's comparable to matcha maiko in the states, but much more reasonably priced.
