The matcha soft serve combines the umami notes of quality matcha with a smooth, creamy texture. The cone is compact and designed for one sitting, with a clean matcha color indicating premium matcha quality. Reviewers note this is more subtle than standard matcha desserts — it's not aggressively sweet or grassy, making it accessible to those new to matcha.
Tips from diners
The soft serve isn't intensely sweet — if you prefer richer desserts, ask if they can add a drizzle of homemade matcha syrup or pair it with a pastry from nearby cafés.
The matcha is whisked using traditional Japanese technique to create a smooth, frothy drink without lumps. The cafe uses premium Kyoto Uji matcha and homemade brown sugar syrup. The balance of matcha's natural vegetal notes with creamy milk creates a refreshing drink that reviewers praise for not being overly sweet. Available with oat, soy, or almond milk alternatives.
Tips from diners
Request less syrup if you prefer a more pronounced matcha flavor — the default has a subtle sweetness that some find perfect while others want to taste the grass notes more clearly.
The hot matcha latte uses the same premium Kyoto Uji matcha as the iced version, prepared with steaming milk using a hand whisk to maintain the traditional texture. The warmth brings out the matcha's subtle umami notes. This option is less popular than the iced version in Bangkok's climate but offers a different experience, especially on cooler mornings.
Tips from diners
Order hot matcha during the air-conditioned mall hours early in the morning — the warmth is more enjoyable when you're not already overheated from Bangkok's humidity.
The café creates a distinctive matcha ube latte combining matcha's vegetal notes with ube's subtle earthiness and natural purple hue. This fusion reflects Bangkok's multicultural food scene while maintaining respect for matcha quality. The drink is creamy, lightly sweetened, and visually striking with layered colors.
Tips from diners
This drink is sweeter than the standard matcha latte due to the ube — request less syrup if you want the matcha flavor to shine through the ube notes.
The matcha cheesecake blends premium matcha into a dense, creamy cheesecake base with a subtle graham cracker crust. The matcha flavor is integrated throughout rather than a topping, providing a cohesive flavor profile. The balance between cheesecake richness and matcha's delicate bitterness makes this a standout for those wanting a more indulgent matcha dessert.
Tips from diners
Pair the cheesecake with an iced matcha latte — the drink will taste different when consumed between bites, creating a progression of flavors throughout the sitting.
The Matcha Tokyo brings authentic Japanese matcha culture to Bangkok, sourcing premium ceremonial-grade matcha from Kyoto Uji and other renowned regions. Located at Emsphere's ground floor, the café maintains Japanese quality standards while adapting to Thai preferences. The minimalist café environment reflects Tokyo's contemporary coffee culture.
The staff are knowledgeable about matcha quality and sourcing — ask them about the different varieties (Kyoto Uji, GOKO, Japan Premium) if you're curious about the differences.
The café is on Emsphere's ground floor near the yellow elevator — easy to miss. Look for the minimalist signage or ask mall staff if you're having trouble locating it.
Visit mid-afternoon (14:00-16:00) to avoid the post-lunch crowds and 18:00+ dinner rush. The café is quietest during these hours, allowing you to enjoy your drink without mall noise.
The seating is limited to standing counter or a few high chairs. For solo visits or pairs it's fine; larger groups should grab and go or sit at the mall's communal areas.
