A Unique Take On A Traditional Delicacy

Painstakingly created, the Essential Mooncake consists of matcha-speckled, sculpted pastry outside and sweet custard filling inside.

Somehow both sweet and savory, The Essential Matcha Mooncake is distinctive and decadent in every bite.

Enjoy the subtle matcha notes and rich egg yolk custard in this rare Momoyama Style Mooncake. The cakes are baked-to-order and individually wrapped for utmost freshness.

Momoyama Style Mooncakes

The Essential Mooncake is a lesser known cousin to the more common Cantonese mooncake you’ve seen before.

Made with white bean paste as the main ingredient instead of flour, The Essential Momoyama style mooncake's pastry shell is more tender, its core less dense, and less calorie-heavy than traditional mooncakes.

Judge us by our looks

Our packaging is safe, simple, and proudly no frills. We don't think it makes sense to pay for things you throw away immediately.

That's why the Matcha Mooncakes ships in the same protective packaging the manufacturer uses, covered in functional stickers and foreign stamps showing the journey it's been on.

We don't hide it and wear it as a badge of honor for the places our products have been and the people who made them.
