Originally, Matcha is a drink. Especially, it is served at Sado (traditional Japanese ceremony) as a special treat. 
Now it is everywhere and has altered very much in appearance. Soft ice cream, chocolate, cake, cream puff, pudding, parfait, pancake…There are lots of Matcha-flavored sweets and snacks, which are very popular especially among female. 

 In addition, we have Matcha bread, Matcha soba noodles and Matcha curry. 

 Matcha is not just a drink anymore, seemingly it can be anything. It is versatile.
