In my Vlogtober Day 3 vlog, I’m out in NYC on a very specific mission: finding good matcha powder in the city because matcha is literally exploding on TikTok right now, and even Amazon shipping is taking forever. I head to a Japanese kitchen supply spot (MTC Kitchen) that carries a super popular matcha brand that’s known for being great quality but still affordable. I didn’t even browse much because I was locked in on the matcha, but the store had bowls, cups, glassware, knives, and a ton of kitchen supplies—very chef-coded. I also share my outfit details (Zara tank, Aritzia effortless pants, my blazer from Korea, and my pink CARLYN puffer bag with a charm from the Korean flea market), plus a little life update on my editing routine. I’ve been editing the day the vlog is due, which is stressful, so I’m trying to upload clips at night and get ahead. Matcha-wise, I talk about how I’m storing it in the fridge, why I’m switching from a bamboo whisk to a resin whisk (so I can do hot, cold, and even milk), and how Amazon prices can be way higher than in-store—like seeing a matcha tin for $20 online when it was $9 at Teso.
