Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, melted unsalted butter, 0.25 cup of sugar, and salt until you have a crumbly mixture.
Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even crust layer.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese and 1 cup of sugar until smooth and creamy.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Mix in the sour cream and vanilla extract until just combined.
Sift in the matcha powder and mix until the batter is evenly colored.
Pour the cheesecake batter over the cooled almond crust in the springform pan.
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center jiggles slightly when moved.
Turn off the oven, crack the oven door slightly, and let the cheesecake sit in the cooling oven for 1 hour.
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature.
Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, before serving.
Remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and slice to serve.
