Itoh Kyuemon

Hokyu 20

Sourced from the esteemed Itoh Kyuemon producer in Uji, Kyoto, this Grade 5 ceremonial matcha represents the finest offering in their collection. Crafted from first-harvest leaves harvested in Ujitawara, it delivers an exceptionally complex flavor profile marked by deep umami notes, subtle sweetness, and a silky mouthfeel that coats the palate. The matcha finishes with remarkable persistence while maintaining minimal bitterness or astringency, making it equally suited to both the thick and thin ceremonial preparations that demand the highest quality.
