Recipe:Ise Matcha Triple Harmony Mousse

 

Features of the Ise Matcha Three-Layer Dessert

Ise matcha is crafted from tea leaves nurtured in the rich natural environment and clear air of Mie Prefecture. Its vivid green color and profound aroma are the hallmarks of this exceptional tea. In this dessert, the matcha is used differently in each layer, creating a beautiful gradation of color, fragrance, and flavor.

The bottom layer is a gentle, mellow mousse where the sweetness of white chocolate harmonizes with the natural umami of matcha. The middle layer offers a richer, creamier matcha experience, unfolding a deep and elegant flavor as it melts on the tongue. The top layer is finished as a glossy matcha jelly, adding a refreshing clarity to the overall taste.

The three layers form a serene landscape of green tones, reminiscent of the quiet beauty of Ise’s mountains. A touch of gold leaf adds a graceful brilliance, elevating the dessert into something truly special.

Carefully composed with traditional Japanese ingredients, this dessert exudes refinement both in appearance and taste. It is perfect for teatime or as a thoughtful gift. With each spoonful, the gentle aroma of Ise matcha rises softly, offering a moment of calm and indulgence.
