Matcha `Maki-no-Shiro' is a matcha that is used for practice at home. The bitterness and astringency are slightly strong for drinking. Matcha is the most affordable for drinking, but it has a good flavor, color, and aroma for confectionery, and if you use `Maki-no-Shiro' or higher grade for confectionery, you can make delicious sweets with the flavor of matcha.

Yamamasa Koyamaen Matcha Selection Guide
For First-Time Buyers
OGURAYAMA is the signature and best-selling blend. Its balanced aroma and flavor suit tea gatherings, guest service, and in-store tastings.
For Special Occasions
TENNOUZAN or higher grades are recommended for entertaining important guests or gifting. These teas offer a deep aroma and refined taste from young buds for an exceptionally rich experience.
For Everyday Enjoyment
SAMIDORI and MATSUKAZE are ideal for casual daily drinking, morning relaxation, or regular practice.
For Culinary Creations
For lattes and desserts, we recommend Culinary Grade A. It has a touch more bitterness that balances sweetness. If budget allows, ceremonial-grade options like Matsukaze or Maki-no-Shiro yield even better flavor and color.

Yamamasa Koyamaen – A Long-Established Matcha Producer in Uji, Kyoto
Founded in the early Edo period, Yamamasa Koyamaen is a prestigious matcha producer in Uji, Kyoto—the birthplace of Japanese matcha—trusted by tea masters for consistent quality and craftsmanship.
High-Quality Tea Leaves from the Fertile Soils of Uji
The Uji and Kizu rivers nurture the tea fields of southern Kyoto. Plants are shaded for about 20 days before harvest to enhance aroma, sweetness, and vivid color. Leaves are then processed into tencha, gently steamed, dried, aged cool, and stone-ground into matcha.
Traditional Stone-Mill Craftsmanship Meets Modern Technology
Despite modern automation, Koyamaen relies on traditional stone mills. Skilled artisans fine-tune each mill to achieve a silky powder that melts on the tongue.
About Matcha Lumps
Small clumps are caused by static electricity and are not a quality issue. For a smoother bowl, sift the powder through a matcha sieve before whisking.
Matcha – Japan’s Natural Superfood
Matcha is rich in antioxidants and catechins that support fat metabolism, plus tannins and chlorophyll that aid balance and detox. Because you consume the whole leaf, you can take in the tea’s full spectrum of nutrients.
Koyamaen Matcha – Product Selection
This Japanese ceremonial matcha green tea powder received positive feedback from customers. Rated 4 stars, shoppers said it's "very suitable for guests," highlighting its appropriateness for entertaining and serving to visitors. The product appears well-received for hospitality purposes.
This is my absolute favorite matcha I have bought.I wish the price didn't rise so much. I bought this a year ago, and it was $25 USD minus shipping.Other than that, the flavor is amazing! The bitterness translates really well into occasional lattes.
Very well priced for the amount! Tastes smooth and has no gritty feel to it. I like to have mine with maple syrup and milk. Bright green too!
Smooth, bright, and perfect for matcha lattes. This is my favorite matcha!
I’ve tried a few different types of matchas from Yamamasa Koyamaen before and can definitely this is my top pick from this tea house. For reference, prefer nutty/roasted flavors (ex. Yame no Hana is my favorite from Hoshinoen). Very eager for a restock so I can purchase a bigger size in the future!
So smooth, perfect green, pairs well with oat milk, a little umami, perfect with agave!! 10/10
Great quality & fast shipping 👍
Not as strong as I’d like but it was still really good and color is beautiful
I think this is a great matcha for people who have recently been exploring ‘better’ matcha or are starting to dip their toe into matcha that isn’t from cafes or what you’d find in Whole Foods/Target. Ifs a very light matcha, it’s not super in your face or ‘grassy’. I think it’s a nice simple flavor for everyday matcha drinkers and is still on the more budget friendly while still getting quality.
This is a perfect everyday matcha <3
Good entry level ceremonial grade matcha, excellent value for money however for a little bit more you get Matsukaze which has more refined flavours and less bitterness. Unbeatable price and perfect for tighter budget matcha lovers.
This is by far the best matcha I’ve tried, flavor is very smooth, nutty and not bitter at all
It’s very suitable for guests.
