A matcha ice cream gem near Asakusa with matcha levels up to seven stages. A definite hit for matcha enthusiasts. Ice cream comes in either cones or cups, and while there are no tables inside, seating is available. It's pleasant to sit outside on sunny days. Be sure to bring cash, as that's the only payment accepted!
