Yamamasa Koyamaen is a long-established matcha producer in Uji, Kyoto. The brand is trusted for consistent quality, refined tea-making, and a wide range of matcha for tea ceremony, daily drinking, and culinary use.
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 or milk.
Preparation Tip: Sift Before Whisking
For a smoother texture, pass the matcha through a fine sieve before adding water or milk. Then whisk thoroughly for an even, enjoyable cup.

Customers praised this ceremonial matcha for its "good nutty flavor" and vibrant green color. Many noted it's "really good for latte" and excellent for beginners. The strong, bold flavor with umami notes received consistent praise. Some mentioned it can be washed out with too much milk, and one customer noted it oxidizes quickly, developing slight bitterness over time.
good condition, good nutty matcha!
Shipping Tool longer then last time and the matcha wasn't as fresh as my last purchase but still great quality!
Has a nice taste and goes well with lattes or coconut matchas. Will order again soon and I liked the packaging!!
This is a nice matcha. Very light. Package arrived quickly
Super good 👍🏻highly recommended
When I first opened the package, I smell a nutty flavor, strong and to me that’s a good head start. Secondly I did the usual and I tasted the Matcha without milk at first and it was strong. I love that it was strong a little bitterness and it was good and then I tried with just oat milk no sweetener and it was good. And then I tried it with oat milk and brown sugar syrup and it was delicious. I love how dark of the green was. I prefer my Matcha to be very dark and it was very delicious. Overall a 10 out of 10 will buy again!!
Enjoyed it, will repurchase soon
Matsukaze is my favorite yamamasa koyamaen matcha, really good for latte. So happy to get 150g can from Matcha JP.
Good matcha
Love it in flavor and color
This matcha tasted very bold and packed quite a punch. It leans more bitter, so it pairs perfectly with oat milk.
The bitterness has an appealing quality, with some savory, seedy and nutty notes coming through as well. It wasn’t overly seaweedy, which I appreciated. The color was a beautiful, vibrant green and not dull whatsoever, as expected from this brand.
One thing I noticed was that the matcha powder itself is quite coarse, especially compared to other matchas in a similar price range (Hekisuien Chiyo no Sakae)
With oat milk, the bitterness is toned down considerably, while most of the other flavors still come through nicely. For the price, this matcha is a very good choice for people who enjoy strong matchas.
rich and at the same time delicate taste
Matcha itself is great and comes neatly packed to ensure product safety. With all the regulations and documents/follow-ups needed, the MatchaJP team has been very helpful in making sure you get your questions answered.
11/10 product and service!
This matcha has a very strong flavour which I’m not used to but I love now! Just took a little balancing in my lattes.
Great quality and lovely taste!

Its my absolut favorite matcha. Soooooo creamy and no bitterness
That's my absolute Favorit daily matcha
This matcha was really good I liked the bold flavor and how it isn’t clumpy it smells amazing I wish it was stronger in green tea Flovor but the umami is good
I really love this matcha
I LOVE THIS MATCHAAAA
It’s a good entry matcha for those wanting to get into matcha not as strong as I’d like but still good
Matsukaze is my first matcha product and I love the flavor. It is very creamy when drank with oat milk. However, the matcha flavor can be easily washed out if there is too much milk or depending on the milk, so more quantity of the matcha is required. Overall, highly recommend for beginners to try with oat milk.
Such a good flavor!
