Shuhari Matcha Serves Green Tea and Japanese Snacks on Abbot Kinney
Tea lovers, and especially matcha lovers, head straight to Shuhari Matcha on Abbot Kinney.
Shuhari serves a selection of green tea as well as savory snacks and green tea-based desserts and drinks, like this The Matcha Sundae ($8.50).
The sundae is made with matcha ice cream, chocolate sauce, corn flakes, and dried raspberries.
Shuhari Matcha Cafe is an interesting business, as they partly funded by the Cool Japan Fund, a joint public-private fund that promotes Japanese culture.
On a warm LA day, get one of the yuzu matcha sparkler ($5). This was one of my favorites. Lightly sweet, and the yuzu complements the bitterness of the matcha well. They also have other flavors for the sparkler that I'm looking forward to trying next time.
