Why We Recommend SHIKIBU-NO-MUKASHI

SHIKIBU-NO-MUKASHI is a higher-grade matcha than OGURAYAMA, offering even lower bitterness with deeper umami and sweetness. At this level, it is best appreciated as usucha rather than used mainly for lattes.

✓ Also suitable for light koicha preparation

Flavor Profile

The flavor profile is based on MatchaJP's tasting evaluation and is intended as a general guide. Flavor perception may vary depending on brewing method and personal preference.

Best Enjoyed as Premium Usucha

SHIKIBU-NO-MUKASHI is too refined to recommend mainly for everyday latte use. While it can be used with milk, its depth, sweetness, aroma, and very low bitterness are best enjoyed as traditional usucha.

Usucha:
Excellent for premium thin tea and special tea moments.

Koicha:
Good enough for light koicha-style preparation.

Latte:
Possible, but generally too premium for regular latte use.

Upgrading:
A natural step up from OGURAYAMA for deeper umami and sweetness.

Perfect for High-Grade Usucha

SHIKIBU-NO-MUKASHI is recommended for those who want to enjoy the aroma and depth of high-quality matcha. It offers a smoother and more refined experience than lower usucha grades.

About Yamamasa Koyamaen

Yamamasa Koyamaen is a long-established matcha producer in Uji, Kyoto. SHIKIBU-NO-MUKASHI is recommended for customers who want a more refined and aromatic experience than standard usucha matcha.

Why Uji Matcha?

Uji is one of Japan’s most respected tea regions. Its climate, soil, shading methods, and tea-processing traditions help create matcha with clean aroma, balanced taste, and vivid green color.

Stone-Milled Craftsmanship

Traditional stone mill matcha production

Traditional stone milling produces a fine powder with a smooth texture. This careful process helps preserve aroma and creates the soft mouthfeel expected from high-grade Japanese matcha.

About Matcha Lumps

Small clumps can appear naturally because matcha is very fine and sensitive to static electricity and humidity. For a smoother bowl, sift the powder before whisking.
