What We Tried at Katsute100 Islington

We ordered the matcha crepe cake, a Sakura Matcha Latte and a Hojicha Flat White.

The Sakura Matcha Latte was smooth, creamy and well balanced, with the matcha flavour coming through without being too bitter. The Hojicha Flat White had a lovely roasted flavour, with a nutty sweetness that made it feel comforting and different from a regular coffee.

The matcha crepe cake was light, creamy and dainty, with delicate layers and just the right level of sweetness. Definitely journey-worthy if you love Japanese desserts.
