  The green tea ice cream was nice but not as intense as I was expecting. It was still very much worth trying. The shop is small, so expect to have to wait if visiting during busy hours.

  I was craving Mitarashi Dango so bad in Kuromon Market and the first place I saw was closed. Luckily I found Maeda on Maps and went there. They had so many dango options, even dango ice cream and different flavor choices. The cafe itself looked really nice and the girl serving was very kind. The dango texture was really good. The sauce was okay, nothing crazy special, but still fine. It was also very inexpensive which I appreciated. They even took my trash for me which made it easy. Overall I would give this place a 4.5 out of 5.

  Located at Namba Walk, Amato Maeda offers a lovely selection of Japanese sweets. I tried the Mitarashi Dango Parfait, and it was absolutely delightful. The portion was just right, and the combination of ice cream, red bean paste, and brown sugar jelly delivered a satisfying sweetness. What really stood out was the warm mitarashi dango skewer – slightly savoury and beautifully balanced against the sweeter elements. A well-thought-out dessert with great contrast in both flavour and temperature. I also had the Uji Kintoki (matcha shaved ice), served with ice cream, red bean paste, and dango. It was nice, but nothing particularly special. If you’re visiting, I definitely recommend the Mitarashi Dango Parfait!

  Every Matcha product is so rich and good! Red bean paste is creamy and not too sweet. The matcha sauce on the shredded ice is bitter. What I love the most is the matcha tofu/pudding (?) on matcha parfait. It’s soooo creamy and yummy! Perfect dessert for a hot day.

  Amazing service, lovely atmosphere, and it was the best strawberry mochi I had on the trip as I don’t like red bean paste and this one didn’t have it! It’s also a great place to try super traditional Japanese sweets.
