Kyoto Food: Matcha 抹茶 and Wagashi 和菓子

Today I tried my first Matcha (抹茶) at a tearoom in Arashiyama. This place serves a variety of Japanese desserts made of red bean, mochi or green tea or combination of all, both hot or cold versions.

I opt for Matcha that comes with a wagashi (和菓子). The matcha is a bit light and watery, but the taste is as I expected it to be. Alternating small bite of wagashi and sipping tea create a contrast of bitter sweet taste.
