Two recent tastings from Sadaharu Aoki, one I absolutely loved, the other one not so much.

I had actually tried this already years ago at Aoki’s Taipei branch – didn’t love it then, don’t like it now…which is quite strange, because I usually enjoy matcha and chocolate flavors. Beautiful visually though.
