    Really disappointing, especially for a place that specializes in matcha. My biggest issue is that they don't allow you to adjust the sweetness at all. I understand some matcha shops have preset recipes, but if you're going to do that, the drink needs to be properly balanced. This was CRAZY sweet--to the point where the sugar completely overwhelmed the matcha. For comparison, Izumi Matcha in Santa Clara also has drinks where the sweetness isn't always adjustable, but their recipes are balanced enough that I don't feel like I need to modify them. This place tasted like taking an already-sweet matcha drink and doubling the sweetness. On top of that, the matcha itself was extremely strong and bitter, served in a tiny 12 oz cup. Stronger does not automatically mean better matcha. Good matcha should be smooth, balanced, and flavorful without being overwhelmingly bitter. If you're making the matcha this concentrated, even putting it in a 16 oz drink with more milk or water would make it much more enjoyable. The whole drink just felt poorly formulated: way too sweet AND way too concentrated at the same time. That's a strange combination. The staff working in the back also seemed very young and inexperienced, so I'm not sure whether this is a training issue, a management issue, or simply how the recipes were designed. Either way, for a shop specializing in Japanese matcha, I expected much better attention to balance and preparation. Please either allow customers to adjust the sweetness or reformulate the drinks. Matcha should taste smooth and balanced--not like a sugar bomb followed by an intensely bitter matcha shot.

    $10 strawberry matcha and they skimp you on the strawberry puree. Even when I asked for a little more strawberry they said no. It's good but are we fr?

    Matcha Float
    Joann V.

    3.5 stars I only got one item: Matcha Float ($9.20). This is definitely on the pricier side. I think it's safe to say that there can be too much of a good thing because matcha was rich and a little too much for me. The powder was grainier than I'd like. It's a decent quality matcha! Just too much for me. I guess I should have stuck with a latte.

    Before visiting, I've been wanting to go to this place for a while. And until I got close I didn't realize it's located in the food court of the Mitzuwa market. It took me a while to get in the area so I actually got here right at closing. The kind folks here still allowed me to order, even though it was right at closing. I went with the Koicha Einspanner and not only was it aesthetically pleasing, but it was refreshing and showcased the flavor of their matcha. The place and vibe here was chill. Pretty much how it is at any Japanese market food court if you've been.

    For a guy who doesn't always like the taste of matcha I was pleasantly surprised by the sweet tastiness of the protein matcha I ordered here. It was very refreshing. They have a matcha for every kind of mood you're in. Check it out if you're at the Mitsuwa in the Del Amo mall.

    I've been wanting to try this place for a while. It located in a food court the grocery store. I thought that was pretty cool. It's nice to be able to walk and that that's plenty of food options to go with the matcha. It was so hot outside, so I was glad to have something to help me cool down. I got the matcha latte with oatmlk and the matcha hojicha mixed soft serve. The matcha hit the spot, though the latte was a bit grainy, not sure if that was because of the oat milk or the actual matcha. I enjoyed the soft serve. It's pretty strong though and to me was a bit bitter, but that could have been the hojicha. Plenty of open seating to chose from to enjoy the treat and have a nice hang out.

    Everything is so good here!!! If you are looking for authentic matcha, this is the place! They have drinks to desserts! I wish there was a location in Northern CA! The next time I am in town, I need to come back and try other items at this store. I hope to come back again someday! Service was excellent!

    Matcha Soft-Serve
    Carlo G.

    If you're into desserts that aren't too sweet, the matcha soft serve here is perfect for you. The matcha soft serve itself was creamy and smooth. The matcha flavor was bitter, but in a good way. It was earthy and not too weak which I liked. It was also super aesthetic with the chocolate square which provided a nice and sweet contrast to the bitter matcha. Definitely a high quality dessert. This spot is located inside the Mitsuwa marketplace food court area with parking outside shared with the Del Amo mall. It can get pretty packed in the area. I would get the soft serve here again, but I am a bit skeptical about getting the drinks here. That's because the matcha drinks look super diluted based on the color.

    Yamato absolutely deserves five stars. This place is a gem, and the matcha alone is worth the visit. Hands down the best matcha I have ever had. It is rich, smooth, perfectly balanced, and tastes incredibly high quality without being bitter or overly sweet. Everything feels thoughtfully prepared and authentic, and the atmosphere is calm and inviting. You can really tell care goes into what they serve, especially when it comes to their matcha. If you love matcha or are even just curious about trying a truly excellent one, Yamato is a must visit. I will absolutely be coming back just for that matcha alone.

    Located in the Mitsuwa marketplace. There was a small line when we went but service is quick. If you enjoy strong, authentic matcha, this is the place to try. High quality matcha for the price you're paying! Not only do they have drinks but also soft serve. I went with the strong uji Matcha Green Tea (without any diary/non diary options) and enjoyed the matcha taste with the hint of sweetness. 10/10. Will definitely be coming back for more!

    Ambiance: it's located near the entrance of Mitsuwa grocery store Service: so slow and disorganized, it's essentially a one person stand, and it took a long time to place the order and receive the drink Drink: fixed menu and inflexible, and they can't adjust sweetness or ice level Matcha Latte - *** hot, plain taste Price: overpriced for its mediocre quality, not worth $8 per drink

    Matcha Parfait
    Azelle B.

    If you're looking for good quality, ceremonial-grade matcha goodies, Yamari Matcha is one of our go-tos. Located inside the Mistuwa Marketplace (convenient when running errands), service is quick and easy on a weekday. Weekends are a little tricky especially when there's a line. But overall it's an easy order, grab and go for a food court. Best eaten after a yummy tempura bowl ( or plate, depending on how hungry you are) over at Carlos Tempura.

    Drink: Matcha Au Lait uses matcha from Uji Kyoto Service: friendly & made-to-order service Design: beautiful Japanese matcha authentic designs & styling Overall: if you want authentic and really, high quality matcha drinks and ice cream, then this is a must

Another gentleman working there even confirmed that they still had it available. When I questioned it, instead of simply explaining the situation, the employee helping us seemed unwilling to make it and gave us attitude. I also asked to sample a couple of other flavors since the item we originally wanted was supposedly unavailable, and her attitude made the whole interaction even more uncomfortable. I completely understand that places run out of items and employees can have difficult days, but this didn't seem to be an availability issue when other customers were being served the exact same thing. It felt like we were simply being refused service for something that was clearly available. We came in expecting a quick, enjoyable ice cream stop, and unfortunately left feeling singled out and disappointed. I hope management looks into what happened and makes sure customers are treated consistently and respectfully.

Their combinations are so unique, blending trendy flavors like matcha, honey, and many more delicious flavors. My favorite flavor I have tried so far, was the Dalgona Affogato--which I picked because I was thinking of the squid games. The dessert was so smooth but the honey was slightly overbearing. If that is not to your preference, they have other options that can certainly fit to your taste buds. The ice cream is perfectly sweet and an excellent treat in this summer weather. The honey crisps placed on top of the ice were so little, which I wished they had a bit more since it tasted so good with the smooth ice cream. Another thing I hoped was for the affogato to be a bit bigger portion. But then again, I am unsure about the sizings of affogato since this is my first time trying it. Thank you Honeymee Gardena for the experiance, hoping to try more in the future.
