This is Matchaya's mystery flavour of the week. Having just returned from Hokkaido last month, this was an instant satisfaction of my craving for lavender softserve which I had frequently in Hokkaido.
🔸
It's hard to match Hokkaido's local dairy desserts but Matchaya's lavender soft serve is very competent. The fragrance of lavender is strong, and the milk was creamy. It still borders on being too sweet for me, but the accompanying toasted rice puffs, brown sugar jelly, azuki red bean and warabi mochi with kinako powder helped balanced the sweetness.
