"I enjoyed the taste of the milk and tea in the Matcha Latte but, my first sip was overly sugary, with undissolved sugar granules even after mixing the two-tone colors. It's the only issue I had with the drink, and I'd like to try it again with a sugar substitute."

"The Cheese Foam Uji Matcha 芝士宇治抹茶 was really good. Half of the cheese foam stuck to the cap though, so it didn't mix with the rest of the drink as much as it should have. I had mine with creme brulee. The custard was tasty but didn't have enough caramel flavor."
"Mango Pomelo is great just as always -fresh with real mango pieces and not overly sweet but just about right sweetness. However, mango mille crepe cake was abolutely disappointing. Crepe cake was tiny little piece and not fresh (crepe was dried out and each crepe was separated because dried out cream did not stick the cream together. ) You are not supposed to sell this quality. This was the worst mille crepe cake piece I have ever eaten and I paid additional $12 for this little tiny piece in total. Definitely zero or minus star for mille crepe cake. I don't think they are supposed to sell this quality food. how many days did you store this in refrigerator before selling??! :("
