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.

Highly-rated ceremonial matcha praised for its smooth, nutty flavor profile with umami notes. Customers said it's "perfect for lattes" and has a "beautiful color." Most found it excellent for everyday use, though some noted slight astringency and bitterness. One reviewer felt it didn't meet expectations. Concerns about price increases mentioned.
Very good and strong earthy flavor. I was pleasantly surprised that I got the same effect that strong coffee has. This matcha was able to keep me going throughout the day at work.
The best matcha!
I tried out the whole line, among probably like 50 brands of matcha, and their whole line is good. I think this one stood out for the price at the moment. The price seemed to almost doubled, though? Regardless, thank you MatchaJP for carrying it.
I love its rich matcha umami! Just buy the look of it you already know your purchase the right one! How I missed Japan luckily Matchajp makes me feel like im at home again!
Excellent premium content quality
This feels like a classic Kyoto tea-house matcha.
Very smooth, clean, and balanced.
I had gotten frustrated trying to find good sources of matcha and somehow I found this company and ordered several varieties. This was my first one to open and I love it! It's really everything I want. I'm not an expert but I love the deep, rich, bitterness of a good matcha. I don't add anything to it and drink 2-4 cups when I wake up and maybe another one in the early afternoon. So I'm perfectly happy with this Ogurayama tea and look forward to trying the other two that I bought.
I absolutely loved it! One of my favorites matcha.
Currently my top 1 Matcha, well balanced taste
One of my favorite matcha’s, arrived quickly, a bit pricey and shipping is expensive.
Love it
Always a pleasure buying from MatchaJP 😍 their shipping is super fast and reliable. One of the only websites I trust with my matcha!
Its a very good matcha
It has a bit of astringency but with milk, it is perfect!
Love it
กลิ่นหอมสีสวย รสชาติดีมากค่ะ
One of the best matcha from this brand. If you prefer a sweet note on your matcha. This one is for you.
Excellent customer service and amazing product. Smooth and rich flavor. Great for an iced mat ha latte.
its so good great unami and good nuttyes
I love other varieties from this brand, and heard that this one is a good sweet matcha for daily lattes, but I’m getting veryy strong fishy notes. I tried lowering the water temp and it was better, but that unpleasant note still lingered
I really like the complexity of the flavour on this matcha. Would definitely buy again
AMAZING!
Umami, sweet, creamy, 10/10 would recommend.
One of my favorite matcha. It’s smooth & full of umami.
Nutty, smooth matcha profile. Delicious and fast shipping as always!
So far one of my favorites from this brand! It goes great in my lattes and since the can is so big I’m able to experiment more with my ratios
best matcha ever pls restock it
I can see why it’s Japan’s #1 seller! Very earthy and umami. This matcha definitely tastes more complex compared to other varieties. Loving my 150gram tin!!
Muy bueno alta calidad
One of my go to Matcha powders for something easy to drink! I can see why its so popular, I've just repurchased it in the bigger tin this time.
