Asahi Matcha - Tsujiさん Shirakawa Uji

Sourced from Tsuji, a fifth-generation farmer in Shirakawa, Uji—Japan's most celebrated matcha region—this rare Asahi cultivar delivers a pristine and luxurious profile distinguished by savory complexity. The matcha unfolds with notes reminiscent of bone broth and salted butter, layered with a subtle green bell pepper character that sets it apart from conventional varieties. An award-winning expression that has earned both the Emperor Award and the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Prize, this ceremonial-grade matcha rewards those seeking depth and authenticity in their bowl.
