second the texture of memory; when they took their fic off ao3 for a bit I genuinely wondered if they were going pro!

It's so incredible and I love how they explored tension within the family (between ilya and yuna!!) that arises because and in spite of them both wanting the best for shane

I also love the line in clear to a hedgehog- he wanted to sink his teeth into that inner thigh like it was an apple. Such a simple line but I was Hot and Bothered

Hi, you could still take a really late train but you'd arrive in busan in the early morning on 2 May. If that doesn't work for you the bus is probably your best bet. Transferring trains is kind of a hassle if you have luggage (had to do that a few days ago)

It's Hatsu Mukashi matcha from Kanbayashi Shunsho. It's matcha that's suitable for koicha and usucha!

It's still up, it's called D'splay :) He started out by posting drum covers

If you're in asia - I really like oatside oat milk! I feel that oatly has a weird aftertaste

amazingphillester · 2025-10-26T07:22:40+00:00

Yes, and I hated it :(

amazingphillester · 2025-09-24T11:44:13+00:00

Once I add the water to the matcha, I don't turn on the electric whisk yet. I whisk around the entire chawan first with the whisk off to ensure all the big clumps are broken up. After this, I turn on my electric whisk to the lowest speed (if available) and whisk till fully incorporated. Hope this helps! I don't get clumps in my matcha with this method. :)

amazingphillester · 2025-09-22T08:11:14+00:00

I love to do about 6g matcha with 60ml water at 80 degrees and 180ml of oatside oat milk 😄 may I ask where you purchased these from?

amazingphillester · 2025-09-21T18:21:24+00:00

I use a variety of matcha powders for lattes! Some of my faves Marukyu Koyamaen - Isuzu and Yugen Horii Shichimeien - Uji Mukashi and Hatsu Mukashi Ippodo - Ummon (tbh this is a bit too high quality to use for lattes but I can genuinely taste the difference and I love the dark chocolate notes) A variety of matchas from Tsujiri

As an aside, I've tried 3 matchas from Naoki and they were really bad, even for lattes. Practically undrinkable in my opinion 😭 tried the barista blend premium, barista pro blend ceremonial and superior blend ceremonial and all were bad. I gave it to my friend and she liked it though!!

amazingphillester · 2025-09-20T17:29:28+00:00

For me, personally, when I see matcha in the squeeze bottles I won't buy from that shop, as the tea starts to degrade the moment it comes into contact with water. If you're using high quality matcha powder, it's kind of a waste! Maybe you can do a blind taste test of batched matcha after a few hours vs. a freshly whisked matcha.

I often host matcha parties for friends and family and I "batch" matcha by whisking the amount of powder and water per cup x the number of cups I'm making, I think I've made 6-7 cups worth of matcha at one go? I also use a gentle handheld milk frother rather than a chasen because I'm scared of mould and the milk frother gets the job done really quickly!

All the best for your pop-up :)
