Yamamasa Koyamaen OGURAYAMA
Yamamasa Koyamaen’s representative and best-selling usucha matcha. OGURAYAMA is loved for its balanced sweetness, rich umami, very low bitterness, and refined aroma.
Why We Recommend OGURAYAMA
OGURAYAMA is one of Yamamasa Koyamaen’s most loved and representative matcha blends. Compared with YOMO-NO-KAORI, it has even less bitterness while offering more sweetness and a beautifully balanced umami profile.
Flavor Profile
OGURAYAMA has a refined balance of umami, sweetness, aroma, and smoothness. It is sweeter and less bitter than YOMO-NO-KAORI, making it an excellent choice for customers who want a classic, easy-to-enjoy Koyamaen usucha.
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 Usucha
OGURAYAMA is high quality enough that we recommend enjoying it primarily as usucha rather than using it mainly for lattes. While it can make a luxurious matcha latte, its balanced aroma, sweetness, and very low bitterness are best appreciated with hot water alone.
Excellent for smooth thin tea and tea ceremony practice.
Works well, but is quite premium for regular latte use.
A representative Koyamaen blend suitable for Japanese tea gifts.
A natural step up from YOMO-NO-KAORI for more sweetness and balance.
Perfect for Refined Usucha
OGURAYAMA has long been appreciated as a well-balanced usucha matcha. Its smooth sweetness, gentle umami, and clean finish make it easy to serve to guests or enjoy as a refined daily bowl of matcha.

Yamamasa Koyamaen is a long-established matcha producer in Uji, Kyoto. OGURAYAMA is one of its representative blends and has long been enjoyed by customers who want a balanced ceremonial-grade 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 milling produces a fine powder with a smooth texture. This careful process is one reason Japanese matcha feels soft on the tongue and blends beautifully with water.
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.
