Matcha Spring is matcha season. I can find many matcha sweets at convenience stores, supermarkets, and cake shops. When we drink matcha as tea, it is not sweet at all. (I'm not sure whether I can call it tea because it is suspended matcha powder...) So, we usually eat sweets with matcha. But when we use matcha for sweets such as matcha cake or matcha ice cream, they are sweet in itself. That is not the problem. I like matcha sweets. The problem is that matcha sweets sometimes have sweet bean paste in or with them. Sweet bean paste is also sweet. I cannot understand why people combine sweet one with sweet one. Too sweet!! So I always check if there is sweet bean paste in the matcha sweets. Combination of non-sweet matcha and sweet bean paste is good though :-P
