Matcha is so nagomi.
Not only in terms of the feeling that a cup of matcha brings, but also in terms of the constitution principles involving matcha, or powdered green tea.
Matcha, needless to say, is very Japanese. Consider the case of matcha ice cream then, a pristine example of the nagomi principle. You mix matcha (Japanese) and ice cream (Western), and the result is a heavenly sweet delight that fascinated Barack Obama when the future US president visited Japan as a boy.
Nagomi is an apotheosis of the diversity and inclusion ideology. Like many things Japanese, you don't have to be overtly politically correct or controversial. Just enjoy a scoop of matcha ice cream and you will be in the harmonious heaven of nagomi.

After reading your post, I started craving green tea ice cream and finally went out to get one. It really made me think about the “Nagomi” concept. Thank you.
