"The shop is located along komachi dori, when you walk from Kamakura station to Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine. Good creamy matcha ice cream with a heapful splash of matcha powder on the soft serve ice cream. A little pricey but it's also located in one of the most popular area."

"This is a wonderful shop that I can confidently recommend to matcha fans, especially those looking for the most authentic product.
If you have never eated matcha taste before, I'm a little scared that if you have your first experience here, you will be more critical of matcha in the future.
That's how authentic it is.
Give it a try!"

"Best matcha ice cream I’ve ever had!
My husband and brother-in-law, both matcha enthusiasts, said the same. We had the gelato called “MAX”, and it truly lived up to its name. The flavor was so strong and creamy and rich. If you really love matcha, this one’s for you."
