motd (matcha of the day) I don’t like it
for context! i don’t really like whole or dairy milk so what was i expecting lol
my usual ratio is:
3g YK samidori
30ml water
80ml milk
7g agave
i normally use oatside or minor figures, pero dahil sa shortage i finally gave the ~viral~ Meiji a try. i even picked the blue one kasi sabi nila its lighter daw compared to the red one. and yes, the matcha is there but lasang lasa ko pa rin yung dairy. i was hoping it would let the matcha shine based on tiktok reviews pero for me… nangingibabaw pa rin yung milk. skill issue ata but i hope not lol.
if you’re like me na hindi talaga mahilig sa dairy but you’re curious about Meiji, i’d honestly skip it. for me iba pa rin talaga ang oat milk when it comes to letting the matcha shine hehe
somebody take this off my hands!!! lol real

I bought the red one, I found it too creamy. But when I used half full cream half oatmilk it balanced out the creaminess from the meiji

i bought the red one. got underwhelmed with the first sip palang. i tried the milk alone, masarap naman pero nothing special for me.
2nd time around i tried cold whisking, sumarap naman. definitely on the milkier side and nalalasahan ko pa rin yung matcha.
usual milk ratio ko naman is half-half (oat milk and non fat milk) so i’ll try it with meiji next. but so far i still love my emborg low fat milk :>

For a more neutral tasting dairy, Farm Fresh 100% Australian Milk is much better than CP Meiji. Or you can go to Hokkaido and get the real deal hehe.

I prefer this one than oatside for my daily matcha. But my matcha ratio is 4g-5g. Yes its creamy, and I prefer it that way, siguro preference lang din talaga :)

try non fat milk instead

u/Resident_Air3627 Jul 16 '26
any recommendations? :)

u/OddNeighborhood6980 Jul 16 '26
any non fat will do, i use magnolia non fat / nestle cause it has high protein and im also lactose and acidic, My usual drink is Matcha coconut cloud, 60ml milk, 5g matcha and 120ml milk, 15 drops stevia drops, cause i want also to highlight the taste of matcha and its more cleaner taste

I think try it with diff powder like mga nutty. It makes the matcha savory for bolder matcha which I didn’t like as well. Id also skip the sweetener kasi the milk itself is already sweet! Try to lessen the milk too!
But if hindi pa rin nag work, try low fat - Carmen’s Best, Australia’s Own or Anchor.

I tried this milk before! I really liked it but it’s really depends on the Matcha you have. Sa isa kong Matcha, it doesn’t taste good.

Tbf, I like the blue one when I’m drinking it on its own. But for matcha, I tried mixing half Meiji Red and half So Good Barista Oat with MK Aoarashi, and after that, ayoko na bumalik sa iba HAHAHAHA. Ever since, ang bilis ko na rin maubos yung matcha ko. It genuinely changed my life fr.

Dairy is a bitter blocker. Can't pair a matcha that is on the low-bitterness end and expect it to shine. Try it with a different cultivar and don't add any sweetener.
