About this dish

Green tea ice cream (抹茶アイスクリーム, matcha aisu kurīmu) or matcha ice (抹茶アイス matcha aisu) is ice cream flavored with matcha, or green tea. It is popular in Japan and other parts of East Asia. Matcha ice cream has been available in the United States since the late-1970s, primarily in Japanese restaurants and markets, and became more mainstream in the late 1990s. In Asia, green tea ice cream is often served in or with other foods, such as monaka, mochi, and shaved ice.
