Matcha Run #8
The most authentic way to have matcha is to have it in matcha-land aka Japan!
This post brings you all the way to Fukuoka, Japan! First up, headed to FUK coffee to have their matcha, and I finally know why all matcha latte in Japan tastes so great!
ALL, I meant ALL of them, use Meiji brand of fresh milk for their lattes! And this design of Meiji milk is not what I see in Singapore at all! 🤯
The matcha wasn’t bitter, it was creamy and full and the milk was utterly good! 🍵 would I head back to FUK again? I WILL! But for its pudding actually 😄 ITS SO SOFT YET FIRM?! Idk how to explain and each mouth was just pure bliss 😌✨
That’s all I have for now and wait for my next post ⚡️
If you're exploring matcha cafes in Fukuoka, I highly recommend putting FUK Coffee on your list. Beyond just the matcha latte, which uses the unique Meiji fresh milk making it exceptionally smooth and creamy, their matcha pudding is a must-try. It's soft yet firm in texture, creating an amazing mouthfeel that simply melts in your mouth. Many matcha cafes in Japan use locally sourced milk which can significantly affect the flavor balance. This is why the matcha latte here stood out to me—the milk’s richness perfectly complements the slightly grassy and earthy taste of high-quality matcha powder. For those curious about authentic matcha experiences, visiting Japan offers more than just the drink itself; the atmosphere and attention to detail elevate the enjoyment. If you want to immerse yourself further, take time to explore small local cafes rather than only famous spots. Each place offers subtle differences in how matcha is prepared and served. Ultimately, even if you’re not traveling to Japan soon, looking for matcha cafes that serve lattes with fresh, top-tier milk can transform your experience. Some specialty shops outside Japan also use imported or special brands of milk similar to Meiji, which can be a great alternative. Can't wait for more adventures in matcha-land and sharing them with you—stay tuned for my next post!
