A Simple, Nostalgic Matcha Moment (with Butter Mochi!)

Today’s tea time brought together two things that always feel like home: a bowl of Jyoraku Matcha and a soft, buttery square of Haupia Butter Mochi from my Hawai‘i family @Keolaseats. This little Hawai‘i–Japanese fusion treat is one of my forever favorites — along with classics like chichi dango and the kind of desserts that make you slow down and savor.

Why the pairing works:
Matcha brings earthiness, brightness, and layered umami.
Butter mochi brings chewy comfort and gentle sweetness.
Together? Magic. ✨

Quick Jyoraku Matcha How-To
✔️ 1.5–2g of matcha
✔️ 1/4–1/3 cup water at 160–175°F
✔️ Whisk until creamy
✔️ Enjoy with your favorite sweet treat
