    Matcha nama chocolate, or matcha raw chocolate is a popular way of enjoying matcha and chocolate together in Japan. It has a melt-in-your-mouth texture and a rich taste from the matcha powder. It also only requires 4 ingredients!

    Matcha Muffins

    Matcha powder works beautifully in baked goods, including these matcha muffins. When making matcha muffins, you still use all of the same ingredients as you would use in other muffin recipes, but the matcha powder and white chocolate really drive the whole thing home. If you’re looking for a new muffin recipe, we guarantee you won’t regret trying this one.

    Matcha Warabi Mochi

    Back to a more traditional Japanese recipe is this matcha warabi mochi. Warabi mochi is not the same as typical mochi as it is instead made with warabi mochiko (bracken starch). It has an almost jelly-like texture and is usually served chilled, which makes it a perfect dessert for summer. If you love traditional Japanese flavors like matcha and kinako, then give our matcha warabi mochi recipe a try.

    Matcha Cookies

    Another matcha twist on a classic recipe are these matcha cookies with white chocolate. They’re crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, much like a classic chocolate chip cookie. They’re also dotted with white chocolate chunks and macadamia nuts in every single bite making them rich yet earthy at the same time. Once you try our matcha cookie recipe, we’re sure it will become your new go-to cookie recipe!

    Matcha Dorayaki

    Another Japanese classic sweet, or wagashi, is this matcha dorayaki. Similar to a pancake sandwich, dorayaki is made up of two pancake-like patties with anko red bean paste sandwiched in between. This dessert can easily be matcha-nized, and the combination of matcha pancakes and dorayaki pair perfectly! All you need are a few baking staples, mirin, matcha powder, and some red bean paste and you can make matcha dorayaki easily at home.

    Matcha Roll Cake

The roll cake itself has a light and fluffy texture and the whipped cream is also not too heavy. This dessert has the perfect amount of balance and rich flavors from the matcha powder and whipped cream. It does require a bit more skill than making a regular matcha cake, but we’re sure that your hard work will pay off.

    Matcha Shaved Ice

    Looking for an easy way to cool off this summer? Then you need to try this matcha shaved ice. It’s got all of the traditional Japanese elements of a dessert – the matcha, sweetened red beans, and shiratama dango, that all work together, especially when combined with condensed milk over a bed of fluffy ice. You can put this whole dessert together in 15 minutes or less and even make the shaved ice by using a blender! For a better texture, we recommend using a shaved ice machine though.

The caramelized top of the cheesecake, mixed with the custard-like center, and the rich combination of matcha and cream cheese – this cheesecake is everything.
