Black Sesame Soup: The thick charcoal- colored soup of ground black sesame seeds is hot, sweet, and sticky. The black sesame has complex flavors that are deeply nutty, earthy, savory, and a touch bitter. There's enough sweetness that allows for the flavors to shine through. The texture is rich, creamy, and smooth. This is the best bowl of the shop. Sweet Walnut Soup: The mild walnut flavor pairs nicely with bolder flavors. The earthy and nutty flavor is creamy and comforting. Sweet Almond Soup: This highlights the aromatic flavor of almond extract, which is very tasty. The floral and fruity flavors are hats to miss.

It is known for having awarded the Michelin Bib Gourmand which piqued my interest as I seek quality tongsui aka sweet dessert soups that remind me of my childhood days. The shop is small and crowded with all others who enjoy tongsui and the line moves fast despite the wait. You can order via a QR code at the table or with staff. The menu is simple and they've got most of the must-haves at dessert shops. They have a minimum spend per person if you are dining in, so beware if your group has a person who doesn't do sweet soups. The worst thing (or best thing) that could happen is you eat one for them. The tongsui we ordered were all very basic and while they were delicious, I couldn't tell if they were better or higher quality ingredients compared to other shops across Hong Kong. If I were to be in the area and wanting tongsui, then sure why not. But I am unsure if I would purposely take the train and walk here.

The menu has selection of different Japanese tea, matcha desserts and some light meals. I do like that they have sets you can order that includes a drink and a sweet. We shared Hayashiya Assorted Sweets ($98) and Mini Maccha Parfait Set ($98) both comes with a choice of hot/cold tea. Both tasty and with good matcha flavor. Service was nice and prompt. Might not be identical to a real Japanese Tea House experience but it is A-OK. There was no line at all around 3 pm on a Sunday. I doubt I would have waited for a table.

So I've tried the following so far: Japanese Style Ice Cream, Chocolate Banana Ice Cream, Chocolate Banana Waffle and Mixed Berries Waffle. For the ice cream, they use Hokkaido ice cream as the base, topped with red bean paste and Jap fruits. The ice cream is very creamy and rich. Banana are caramelised, some effort has been put here. The waffles are crispy and hot. One drawback is that the preparation time for the waffles are quite slow (written on the window outside the store saying waiting time 20 - 30 min). I'm kind of prepared with magazine and headphones, so it's okay for me. However some people just couldn't stand the waiting time and left after ordering, which is not good to the business..

There was a time when soft serve became all the rage, and Via Tokyo was there through it all. While I miss the TST location (#1), this Causeway Bay version has a bit of seating and all the Japanese-inspired vibes one can ask for. Like most HK shops, the seating is tight and limited. There are wall-facing counter spots, along with a handful of tables for small groups. The wait is likely during the hot weather days (#2), but the turnover is quick since ice cream is consumed and melts quickly. The staff is young and friendly, doing their best to keep the ice cream coming while helping folks navigate the seating. Cones and cups range for roughly $40-45. The Hokkaido milk is my absolute favorite, smooth and creamy, and reminiscent of some of the ones I've had from Japan. Houjicha and matcha are the more popular items here, which take up a majority of the orders and is especially pretty when made into a bowl with fruits and other sweets. The moment of food photography won't last long, as the ice cream will begin to melt in less than a minute. HK dessert options are always revered. Thus, so is Via Tokyo and I hope they manage to stick around as long as possible. They take Alipay, Octopus, and of course, cash. ____________ (#1) Forever immortalized: https://www.yelp.com/biz/via-tokyo-香港-2?hrid=jtpxWsnvwDSZgQu9s6kF5g (#2) Which is often.

It's already a huge thing in Hong Kong, with at least one matcha dessert store at every mall. When I found out that a well known matcha chain, Nakamura Tokichi, was opening up its first branch in HK, I made it a point to plan to visit and give it a try. Unsurprisingly, as with all well known restaurants in Hong Kong, there was a fairly long wait even on a Wednesday. I had to wait almost two hours to get a table for six people. When we were finally seated, we were presented with complimentary green tea and a menu filled with delicious goodies. I tried the green tea almost immediately, and already I was floored. Most green tea tastes fairly bland and generic, but this green tea was incredibly rich and flavorful. As to be expected from a matcha restaurant with as prestigious a reputation as Nakamura Tokichi. We shared several matcha and hojicha parfaits, a hojicha ice cream, and I got the kyo no fukiyose, which contained several different things including chiffon cake, matcha ice cream, red bean, whipped cream, and mochi. The parfaits were incredibly rich and elegant. Cereal was added to the red bean and ice cream, and the flavors all blended together perfectly. The chiffon cake was sweet yet light. The red bean was a real delight, not too sweet, and balanced out the sweetness of the hojicha and matcha ice cream incredibly well. In just one experience, I can see why Nakamura Tokichi is one of the most well known matcha restaurants in Hong Kong. It lives up to its own hype in many ways.
