108 Matcha Saro is from Hokkaido, Japan. They started opening up locations in Taipei in 2014. There are some other similar matcha dessert shops to choose from throughout Taipei; they all taste good to me. They're all pretty pricey. One of the unique items that 108 Matcha Saro has over the other places is their obanyaki (wheel cake), which are some of the best wheel cakes I've ever had. It's important to convey that I don't really care for wheel cakes that much: they're typically too bland, not sweet enough, and don't possess enough filling to warrant me buying them, but I loved the wheel cakes at 108 Matcha Saro.
I didn't try everything they offer; the matcha souffle cheesecake and matcha mochi look great. Besides their obanyaki, I really liked their matcha and burned black tea ice cream and the matcha float.
In short, if you love matcha and Japanese desserts, 108 Matcha Saro is a great place to visit. I'd also say if you don't mind paying the price, but every matcha dessert place is going to be as pricey or pricier than 108 Matcha Saro, so there isn't too much of a point adding that comment, which I added anyway while saying I didn't need to add it.
"High quality Matcha dessert shop, 108 Matcha Saro, is originally from Asahikawa, Hokkaido. It set up first overseas branch in Takashimaya department store in Taiwan on September 2014, and established flagship store in Q Square on April 2015. The desserts are based on selective Kyoto Uji Matcha and mix with different ingredients to bring real Japanese flavor. Customers in Taiwan can enjoy all kinds of good quality handmade Matcha desserts in each shop.
