Starbucks Maccha-Latte has long been a favourite of mine. But from this week a new limited edition flavour has been released.The Sakura late is delicious. It may well taste of Sakura, though I must admit I have never eaten one. The taste is smooth and sweet, and goes down nicely.
The cheesecake was equally delicious. However, it had a few drawbacks to what could have been a very nice desert:
1 - It's a little salty. Salt is quite popular in Japan. But for me, salt and sweets do not mix. While this was delicious, the salt left my lips a little sore.
2 - There is a leaf on top. This is also salty, but that is not the problem. The problem is that the leaf is hard to cut with a plastic spoon or fork, and if you try you will just mush your cheesecake.
Neither of these points stopped me eating it though.
Starbucks is currently offering a small range of other Sakura products (which I will try in time) and I would recommend them to everyone.
