Ujihikari Matcha - Yamazakiさん Gokasho Uji

Sourced from the renowned Gokasho region of Uji, Kyoto, this ceremonial-grade matcha comes from Yamazaki, a three-time recipient of the prestigious Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Prize. The Ujihikari cultivar delivers a bright, uplifting character that balances delicate spring vegetable notes with deeper umami complexity, presenting clean flavors reminiscent of fresh asparagus and raw shiitake mushroom. Its crisp, juicy finish makes it an excellent choice for traditional matcha ceremonies or whisked preparations where quality and nuance can truly shine.
