Ikea Japan's annual Matcha Sweets Fair is back and this year you can enjoy a range of desserts and sweets made with the umami-rich green tea powder. The limited-time menu offers traditional Japanese desserts as well as a matcha-infused afternoon tea set. It's available now until Sunday May 26 at Ikea stores across Japan, including the city locations in Shibuya, Harajuku and Shinjuku (although the menus at these three outlets differ).

Love all things matcha? Here’s what you can expect from this year's Matcha Sweets Fair at Ikea.
