I'm sure there are many people who want to try matcha but don't know the proper etiquette and tend to hold back. To be honest, you probably don't know how to eat the sweets that come with it, let alone how to drink matcha...Here's a little advice!
If a Kuromoji (a toothpick made from a carved wooden branch) is served with each plate, cut the sweets into bite-sized pieces and stab them with the Kuromoji.
If the sweet does not come with a kuro-moji garnish, such as dried confectionery, you will have to break it apart with your hands. Be careful not to put the whole sweet into your mouth as it doesn't look very pretty!
