Our matcha cake is a soft, fragrant green tea sponge that closes a Japanese catering spread on an elegant, lightly bitter-sweet note. Made with quality matcha, it carries the gentle astringency and deep aroma of Japanese green tea balanced by a tender crumb — a dessert that feels refined rather than overly sweet, in keeping with the omakase sensibility behind Sushijiro Catering.
What is a matcha cake?
Matcha cake takes finely milled Japanese green tea powder and folds it through a light sponge or chiffon-style batter. The result is a moss-green slice with a distinctive grassy, slightly bitter depth that grown-up palates love. Unlike heavy buttercreams, our version stays airy and clean on the finish, making it an ideal final course after a savoury Japanese meal.
How we make our matcha cake
Balance is everything with matcha — too little and it tastes faint, too much and it turns bitter. Our pastry approach focuses on:
- Quality matcha for a vivid colour and clean green-tea aroma
- A light, moist sponge that is not cloyingly sweet
- Optional layers of cream or red bean for added richness
- A delicate dusting of matcha to finish each slice
- Neat, portion-friendly cuts ready for plating
