Slated to open in November, Okada Coffee from Kumamoto finally opened on the 3rd floor of 100AM last week. In contrast, Tujiri Tea House (also at 100AM) expected to open its 1st outlet outside Japan only by early next year was already opened last month. Instead of having the lunch recommended by a staff at its entrance, who also offered white chocolate samples that I did not try, I ordered its cake set. There was a faint aroma of roasted beans, a blend of 7 types from around the world, in the pleasantly light and smooth Okada blend coffee with a tinge of bitterness and muted acidity. It was served with whipped cream and a cinnamon cookie reminiscent of caramelised biscuit, which went well with the cuppa I had sans condiments. The strawberry cake was a light and moist sponge cake balanced by sweet strawberry slices in fluffy cream, topped with mostly sweet and a tad tangy berries as well as thin chocolate slices I could neither raved about nor fault.
