The Scoop
Matsu Matcha is on South Western Avenue in Koreatown, and the gelato coming in five intensity levels tells you how seriously the matcha is being taken. The latte flavors go properly adventurous. Cookie butter matcha, coconut cream matcha and a banana pudding creme brulee all sit on a menu that keeps going well past those. The five-level gelato flight is the thing to do on a first visit, because it settles where your own tolerance for intensity actually sits. Anko, Stagger and Rok are all in the same neighborhood, so Matsu slots into a Koreatown route easily. We would put it late, once the palate is warmed up.
