Japanese dessert is always beautiful, as is all of their dishes. Presentation is always key.
Matcha or powdered green tea is a staple ingredient in Japanese cuisine and makes a wonderful Ice cream.
I used store bought green tea Ice cream and paired it with kiwi and oranges for a light, sweet and perfect ending to our Japanese feast.
I truly love fresh fruit at the end of any meal.
Often times Japanese serve the fruit with a sweet sauce made from black sugar. I don't find the added sweetness necessary if you are using nice ripe seasonal fruit.
Enjoy
