Matcha Chiffon II

This green tea chiffon may not look as pretty. But I have to say the texture and taste is really good. It's that very Japanese taste ( yes, I know it's green tea...) and characteristic for a chiffon cake. Could it be the red bean plays a part of it??! Oh ya, it's a recipe from that EXPENSIVE book I just bought. SO it better be good! ha ha...
