📖 The Story Behind This Dish

The gentle sweetness of mascarpone and matcha's distinctive bitterness turn out to be a remarkably natural pairing. Soaking the ladyfingers in matcha instead of coffee gives the dessert a vivid green color while blending the best of both Japanese and Italian traditions.

🌆 Where it's eaten: Sitting just outside either tradition, this dessert is quickly becoming a new classic in its own right.
