Motto sparkling matcha tea: A lightly carbonated green tea beverage with honey, apple cider vinegar, and lemon. The aftertaste is slightly off and medicinal, reminiscent of aspartame, though the ingredients are all natural. Not the most flavorful or refreshing. 3.0/5.0

Japonaise Bakery Green Tea Cake: Located on Beacon Street in Brookline, this small bakery has an assortment of pastries as well as packaged Japanese snacks. Their green tea cake is multi-layered, with green tea creme and a layer of gelatin on top. While the matcha flavor was not bad, the cake was a bit dry, and the gelatin was largely for texture (it didn't have much flavor). It looked better than it tasted. 3.0/5.0

Hapi green tea pudding: Japanese pudding with a very traditional asian pudding texture (more gelatinous and set than American pudding). The green tea flavor is on the sweet side and conventionally artificial yet nostalgically satisfying. Pricy for the size (each cup costs slightly over a dollar from hmart). 3.0/5.0

Lotte Koala's March matcha-flavored cookies: Cuteness aside (and these koala snacks are super cute) these are a decent snack. The matcha filling is not overly sweet or rich, and the cookies add crunch (but not much flavor). The portions are kid-sized, so they're not particularly filling. 3.0/5.0

Initially, it tastes of honey, but it finishes with a slightly bitter green tea flavor. Overall, a bit too sweet still for my taste. 3.0/5.0
