Disney4me Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 We’ve been enjoying snack time at Walt Disney World as we launched our Disney Food Blog Guide to Epcot Snacks e-Book, 2014 Edition earlier this week!To continue the celebration, let’s check out one of my favorite spots in World Showcase. And while we’re there, we’ll sample a never-featured-here-before snack today!I think Epcot’s Japan Pavilion boasts some of the loveliest landscaping in Epcot, and a lot of it can be enjoyed from an outdoor seat at Katsura Grill.Katsura GrillOutdoor seatingThe greenery, the paper lanterns, and waterfall all contribute to a sense of beauty and peace — even on the busiest of park days — so I’m always looking for reasons to spend more time in this spot.A view from Katsura GrillLanternsWaterfallOne of those reasons, recently, was to try the Green Tea Cheesecake. I adore cheesecake, but have had both good and bad experiences with green tea infused food, so I was curious about what I might discover.Upon receiving my slice, the first thing my eyes took in was the color. As expected, it’s rather green , but a very light hue.Green Tea CheesecakeGreen Tea CheesecakeThe portion size, I must say, seemed small to me. The slice was very thin. The other thing I noticed is that there is no bottom crust — only the lightly browned bit on the end.End of Green Tea CheesecakeI was much more pleased with the taste and creamy, dense texture. The density made up a bit for the portion size, since it was pretty filling.The presence of green tea was much milder than I expected. While you do get a bit of that very distinct green tea flavor, it’s more of a light, sweetened hint. I’d thought the flavor of the vanilla cheesecake base might get lost in the green tea, but I was able to enjoy it entirely.Texture of Green Tea CheesecakeThis really worked for me — while I like a mild hint of green tea, I often find it very overpowering. This was basically like eating regular cheesecake with a little taste of something outside the norm.The Green Tea Cheesecake is $4.50 and available as a snack credit (or Quick Service dessert) on the Disney Dining Plan. Those looking for a more robust green tea flavor might prefer to take a quick walk to the neighboring pavilion — Morocco — and try the Green Tea Chef-created Ice Cream at the Spice Road Table Juice Bar, which is a very bold green tea treat.Green Tea Ice Cream is also available at Katsura Grill.Want Even More Epcot Snack Details?Let’s face it: snacks are a big deal during your Disney vacation.
