I Miss Japan exclusive weekend 2.0 is back!

Last year we had our first I Miss Japan Exclusive Weekend, our very first internal event where we created flavours inspired by Japan, anything we missed or were curious to try making with our own spin. There were quite a number of things we could not fit in to last year’s menu, which we worked on to bring in this year! We went bigger: 7 flavours, 2 parfaits, 3 bakes, 2 floats!! We are also excited to be collaborate with Chabashira, a premium Japanese Tea house with amazing quality teas, directly from their farm in Japan brought to table right here at our store.

This year we have 2 Parfaits – Newly created: Mont Blanc Kinako Strawberry Parfait, and Uji Hojicha Strawberry Parfait ; Both parfaits have 12 layers each. Every layer is carefully designed to create balance with texture, tastes and aroma. With everything made in-house –  texture and scrumptiousness from the langue de chat, pillow like and absorbent matcha cake pieces, soybean jelly for the Kinako parfait, and hojicha jelly for the Hojicha parfait, sweet and tart strawberries for freshness, chantily cream to bring it all in.

Release of the 6 +1 flavours for our I Miss Japan Exclusive Weekend 2.0! This year we’ve collaborated with @chabashira_tea_roastery to bring you the King of all matcha: Gyokuro!! Once known as the emperor of Japan’s favourite tea. It is ultra premium and we are so delighted to introduce Gyokuro to you. Sweet, Savory, full of Umami. Grown meticulously, only harvested once a year.
 
Flavour no.2 Plum and cheese : this flavour profile is very unique, fresh plums give you the first taste, and soft cream cheese as you breathe out.
 
Flavour no.3 Kinako & Brown Sugar: Kinako is essentially roasted soy bean powder! A heaviness and depth that comes with the creamy soybean taste because of its roasting. Paired with brown sugar to elevate it even more. Kinako is found as a topping of a lot of Japanese dessert, but we took it to make a flavour of its own
 
Flavour no.4 White Miso: We were so intrigued at this flavour when we made it last year, miso a Japanese staple. We were even more amused when customers loved it when they tasted it! They complimented the balance and it’s interesting caramel like taste.
 
Flavour no.5 Uji Houjicha: not new in waka but an anchor in our I Miss Japan series. Roasty and deep, a flavour we won’t get tired of.
 
Flavour no.6+1 Uji Matcha / Reiko Matcha: The classic matcha at Waka from Uji region, safe to say, the memories go right back to Uji when you taste this ; new on the block we have Reiko matcha from Chabashira, in scoop, latte, and float!
 
Swipe for our exclusive new items we’ve spent time, attention to R&D and finally be ready to serve: Hojicha Parfait, Kinako Parfait, Matcha Tiramisu, Reiko / Gyokuro Latte Float!
Send this to your friends who miss Japan, those who need to go to Japan, and the ones you know will enjoy these!
