Top Tips to ensure success of your Matcha crêpe cake:
1. After making the crêpe batter, let it rest for at least an hour to allow the dry ingredients to fully absorb the liquid and to eliminate any air that could cause tearing.
2. Cook crêpe on a non-stick pan on low heat.
3. Cooked crêpe should be stacked on a cooling rack before being placed on top of each other. This will prevent them from becoming soggy.
4. Besides being very photogenic and delicious, this cake has a unique texture that can only be found in pancake crêpe cakes.

1. MATCHA
Matcha is perfect for the autumn and winter seasons as it contains enough nutrients to keep you energized and healthy. Ryokucha and matcha are among the teas of choice for Otsukimi (お月見) or ‘moon viewing.’ festivals that honour the autumn moon. On the modern solar calendar, these celebrations take place in September and October.
2. HOJICHA
Another popular autumn tea is Hojicha which is produced by roasting bancha. This results in a fresh tea with minimal bitterness. Unlike the majority of Japanese teas, Hojicha is reddish and/or sometimes brown in colour. It is also lower in caffeine, making it perfect as an after-dinner tea. For those autumn nights you want to curl up in bed with a good book and a steaming hot cup of tea – we recommend you pick Hojicha.
3. GENMAICHA
Genmaicha is a blend of bancha with well toasted brown rice (genmai). The toasted brown rice is what gives genmaicha its nutty flavour. It is also low in caffeine.
4. SENCHA
It’s a loose leaf green tea that’s grown under full sunlight, producing leaves that are darker in color with a more astringent flavor.
Whole tea leaves are steeped in hot water to produce a clear brew that’s ideally greenish golden in color, with a rich, balanced flavor — neither too bitter nor too sweet. And unlike Chinese green teas, where the leaves are pan-fired in the production process, sencha (and other ryokucha) leaves are steamed instead, giving it a sweet, vegetal flavor similar to seaweed.

For those who love Matcha, it seems that any time is the right time to drink this delicious beverage.
Most matcha drinkers consume just 1 or 2 cups a day. The best time to drink it depends on what you’re doing. Here are some good examples:
◊ A gentle LIFT first thing in the morning
◊ A MINDFUL approach to a mid-day meeting
◊ A nice PICK-ME-UP as the afternoon wanes
◊ A CALORIE BURNING boost for your workout
◊ A time for CALM contemplation or MEDITATION
◊ A time to FOCUS or be CREATIVE
The only time to avoid Matcha is right before sleeping. The effects of caffeine take time to wear off, so if you like to have Matcha in the evening, make sure you drink it a few hours before bed!

Ingredients:
300ml of Mezcal ( preferably Agua Magica Mezcal )
2 tablespoon of Hojicha Tea
Instructions:
The Japanese diet is well BALANCED and considered to be one of the healthiest in the world, and for that reason the Japanese have an average life expectancy far greater than the western world. Japanese have long been revered and studied for their long life expectancy, which is higher than almost anywhere else in the world.
This is why:
◊ Large Green Tea and Matcha Consumption
Japanese green Tea has numerous health benefits, so much so that we should all be brewing up with it. Green tea is believed to help regulate blood pressure, lower blood sugar, boost the immune system, lower cholesterol, slow the aging process, promote weight loss and studies have even shown that green tea can be effective at preventing cancer.
◊ Smaller Food Portions
Food portions in Japan are smaller and reduce the opportunity for pigging out. Western visitors to Japan will find that when eating out, meals will be roughly about half the size of what they are used to (or even less if they are used to US-sized portions).
◊ Healthy Desserts
The Japanese do enjoy some western desserts like ice cream or cake, but they are more likely to serve up some seasonal fruits arranged on a plate than a sticky toffee pudding. And Matcha infused desserts are most popular.
◊ High Vegetable Consumption
The Japanese consume large amounts of vegetables, such as cabbage, broccoli, brussels sprouts, chinese cabbage, cauliflower, kale, and watercress.
High in Vitamin C and fibre, they also contain potent anti-cancer properties. Methods of cooking vegetables, include lightly steaming or frying them, which helps retain maximum nutrients as apposed to frying the vegetables.
◊ Healthy Noodles
Japanese soba noodles are also a staple part of the nation’s diet and are made from wheat and buckwheat flour which helps the digestive process. Soba noodles contain no white flour and are considered significantly healthier, being high in fibre. They help the body eliminate cholesterol, as well as promoting regular bowel movement.
◊ Smaller portions of Rice
Rice is consumed in small portions by the Japanese, so much so that it is served with virtually every meal of the day, including breakfast.
As a low-fat carbohydrate, rice fills you up so there’s less room for fattening and artery-clogging foods.
◊ Soy Products
Like fish, soy products such as tofu are also a great alternative source of protein than red meat or even dairy, since they have little or no saturated fat.
Soy products help lower blood pressure and reduce heart disease. As a staple part of the Japanese diet, soy products are great at helping keep down cholesterol and are a useful addition to a healthy diet.
◊ Less Red Meats
Red meat contains saturated fats that can clog the arteries if eaten to excess, and can lead to obesity and bring on heart disease. So get eating more salmon, mackerel, sardines, herring, and avoid that red meat and a potential heart attack.
◊ Fish For Health
We associate a Japanese diet closely with consuming fish, and in large quantities. Fish is a great source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are known for their heart-health and even brain-boosting benefits.
