House-made matcha nama choco, chewy shiratama, and Hokkaido-original soft serve — an authentic wagashi treat at 21:00 Ice Chiba-Chūō Ekimae.
Looking for real matcha sweets near Chiba-Chūō Station? "Luxury Matcha" at 21:00 Ice Chiba-Chūō Ekimae is a menu item well worth going out of your way for.
As a dedicated late-night ice cream shop open from 2:00 p.m. to 11:30 p.m., 21:00 Ice is a familiar stop after work, after school, on dates, and as a nightcap after drinks. Luxury Matcha in particular is built around a rich, fragrant matcha flavor and house-made matcha nama choco (raw chocolate), a genuinely wagashi-inspired treat that's earned it real popularity.
Here's a closer look at this indulgent cup, combining house-made matcha nama choco, chewy shiratama, and Hokkaido-original soft serve.
Luxury Matcha is built to let you fully enjoy the real aroma and gentle bitterness of matcha. The rich matcha flavor fills your mouth from the first bite, and paired with the gentle sweetness of the Hokkaido milk soft serve, it strikes a refined, not-too-sweet balance you can enjoy all the way through.
Rather than an overly sweet matcha dessert, this is a cup for people who want to taste real, quality matcha — and it's earned a loyal following of repeat customers as a result.
What makes this flavor stand out is that the matcha nama choco is prepared by hand at the shop, one batch at a time.
Rather than using anything store-bought, staff aim for a smooth texture and rich matcha depth that only comes from careful, hands-on preparation. As the matcha nama choco slowly melts over the cold soft serve, it delivers a genuinely indulgent flavor that any matcha lover would smile at — its pairing with the milk brings together the best of both Japanese and Western dessert traditions in one cup.
Luxury Matcha also includes shiratama, an essential ingredient in any authentic Japanese sweet.
The chewy, springy texture of the shiratama sits between the smooth soft serve and the rich matcha nama choco, adding a pleasant textural accent with every bite. That variation in texture keeps the cup interesting from beginning to end.
The base soft serve is made from a "21:00 Ice" original mix, produced at a farm in Hokkaido. It carries real richness from the Hokkaido milk, but finishes clean and light — a recipe designed specifically to bring out the best in rich matcha, so the finish stays light rather than heavy.
Chiba-Chūō sees plenty of visitors from abroad, whether traveling or sightseeing. Because Luxury Matcha lets you enjoy real matcha and shiratama together in one cup, it's proven especially popular among international customers.
Its vivid green color also photographs beautifully, and it's often chosen as a memorable part of a trip to Japan — a genuinely refined wagashi flavor loved by a wide range of customers.
