My go-to place to get my matcha fix! The place doesn't look eye-catching, anyone who has no idea about it, would probably just pass it by. Well, thank heavens for technology and website!We've tried the matcha ramen before and it tasted good. Although I would've wanted the taste of matcha to be stronger. Their best-selling matcha parfait, on the other hand is fantastic! It's a mixture of wonderful textures and flavors. I always make sure to order it with every visit.Definitely my favorite matcha cafe in Pasig! 👍🏻

Whenever I want a real good quality matcha, I go here at Kissako! Match frappe is not one of those sugary sweet overload! It does taste matcha, smells matcha, feels very matcha! Just the right blend! Desserts are heaven! Match cheesecake is not overwhelmingly cheesecake and not overwhelmingly matcha as well! Just the right sweetness and cheese and leafy fresh flavor! The texture is not one of those too soft, soggy, jelly-ish cheesecake! Just right for your taste buds to remember that it is good quality cheesecake! And oh how can I forget the top green garnishing, it's just too playful and teasing and satisfying on my taste buds!Will try matcha ramen and parfait next time! Tried matcha ice cream and my taste buds did somewhat spell authentic that one scoop is not enough! Craving again and again. Authentic matcha indeed!

It was a weekday night and my husband said, "Let's go to Kissako, they're having an anniversary promo!" Not to let the opportunity pass, we got ourselves a small table and ordered Matcha Ramen and two kinds of parfaits.First, the Matcha Ramen. You know how in all of them ramen places here in Manila, they're all so full of flavor that sometimes it gets overpowering? Well Kissako's Matcha Ramen is none of that. It packs just the right flavor with its clear broth, green noodles, and soft-cut meat. It's really one of the better-tasting ramen bowls because of that. Perfect pick me up for a rainy day!For dessert, we ordered one matcha parfait then another hojicha parfait. I only got to eat the hojicha one, and it was okay. The glass was too small for the contents, so you're getting your fill of ingredients. It was good, BUT you can get better parfait types of dessert elsewhere.Don't give up on them yet though! Kissako specializes in matcha desserts and beverages, so there's more to explore in this quaint café. 😊

Store was small, simple and clean. This was by far the best matcha ice cream i've had in Manila. As for the matcha pudding, i still preferred kumori's

The cafe made for matcha lovers, definitely!💚Finally made it to Kissako Uji Matcha cafe with two fellow foodies for a nightcap... We got there at 1030pm and the first words to us were: we will be closing by 11pm... Way to make a guest feel welcome...Anyway, I ordered their matcha chia seed pudding after much deliberation. My friends got the matcha parfait and matcha parfait pudding. See the pattern?😅I love my order!!! Chia pudding is something I really enjoy and theirs had a seamless texture. Other then the chia seed pudding, they included a The guy warned us that they use matcha ice cream (not soft serve), but I had no issue with it. I liked the different textures that made each bite interesting... My friends likewise raved about their orders; bestseller being the matcha parfait... Everything was a hit though...😊 A solid 4 stars for the food!👍🏻I just wish their staff was a little more friendly, though I understand that it was getting late. He just kept pouting at the customers who were still there during closing time. He cleared the table as soon as we were finished and turned off the lights at one part of the store. He finally announced that they were closed at 1120pm. Kinda rude...#whatthedokieordered

A month or two ago,  me and a friend went to Kissako to kill our curiosity about why when you say Matcha it comes first to one's mind. The place was full that time because seats are only limited so we had to go back since there is no spot to wait for (it was a hot afternoon that time and the sun was facing Kissako)So after roaming around the area, we went back and luckily, two seats are vacated! So we started our Matcha galore with their Matcha Parfait, Shortcake and Crepe layered cake and I wasnt dismayed. For our drinks, we had their matcha latte and  their ice blended. Everything matched my  craving. The matcha was not to sweet (which should be the case btw) but not that bitter for a tea. Overall, I can still recommend this to my friends but make sure to drop by on off peak hours to avoid long lines.

I have been eyeing this place for two months and only followed through earlier today. I was able to share the experience with my cousins (who were first timers here, too). They got the Iced Matcha Oreo (the Oreo got overpowered by the Matcha) and I got Iced Choco-hojicha (dark chocolate + green tea). My drink was just so and so; embarrassingly, I mixed it up thinking it was the Horiguchi drink.For pastries, we got Matcha Pudding, Matcha Shortcake, Matcha Fromage and Matcha Ice Cream. They had Matcha crepe which is a new pastry but we had no more space for it. The pudding didn't taste anything like Matcha and was very sweet; one of my cousins got reminded how it was similar to eating Nido milk powder. Next, the shortcake tasted like Matcha and the texture of the bread part was good and grainy; but I think it was not to our expectations as soon as we tasted the fromage. The fromage was the best one among the bunch (the cheesecake was out of stock); the Matcha blended well with our taste buds. I wanted to know how well it compares with their cheesecake (on the next time we get back here with that Horiguchi drink). For dessert (hehe), the ice cream was matched with Matcha jelly. This was a good choice as it distinctively left us convinced to go back to this place; the taste is the opposite of the pudding -- definitely Matcha.(It got a 4.0 because we haven't tasted the rest of the menu and because of the pudding.)

Cafe is just a little small wish they could expand! service is great, matcha latte's is bomb and cute. and it tastes great! Their matcha is different from other grade of matcha i've tasted before. Their Ramen affordable, savory, delicious. The meat melts in your mouth and you'd slurp it all day to the last drop.

I wanted to give a 5 rating but the space is quite bothersome. One table was located in the center, which can be bothersome when someone enters and leaves the café. I hope they can expand their place, as more people tend to like matcha these days. Anyway, this is really heaven for matcha lovers, like me. Me and my friend was really planning to go here and finally we did. We ordered the Matcha Cheesecake and Fromage and Matcha Latte. I usually get hot matcha latte and it was cutely made. The taste was perfect. The bitterness and boldness of matcha was there but not too empowering. The fromage was heavenly. It melts in your mouth. The cheesecake was good but not that special. I will definitely come back to taste the other things they offer.
