Let customers speak for us
Love it, highly recommend
Yakawa-no-Shiro is strong yet well balanced. It has quickly become one of my favorite matchas. The price point is also great for the quality of the product.
Matcha Fuji-no-Shiro, 30g Can
Kuki-Hojicha（Roasted Green Tea Stems）50g can
Matcha Sho-no-Mukashi, 30g Can
One of the best matcha I ever tried. Pairs perfectly with milk. Quite affordable for the quality. I highly recommend it.

Bought this for my daughter who loves Matcha...did not disappoint!
So good
Kabusecha Hatsumidori 100g bag
This is the epitome of an everyday matcha — not too rich but still flavorful. It is really creamy and has a lovely matcha flavor. I love this brand and their matcha powders. I have been to two of their locations in Japan when I visited. Even the matcha’s on the less-rich side still have a vibrant and strong flavor profile.

Matcha Seikan-no-Shiro, 30g Can
Matcha Seikan-no-Shiro, 30g Can
Out of all the matcha I’ve tried, Seikan-no-Shiro from Nakamura Tokichi remains my favorite.
It’s the kind of matcha where everything feels in balance: umami, sweetness, and just a hint of bitterness, all in perfect harmony for a good price.
The aroma is gentle yet refined: fresh green notes with a soft, savory undertone typical of quality Uji leaves. When whisked, it forms a smooth, velvety foam; not too thick, but just right, leaving a creamy feel on the tongue.
Flavor-wise, this matcha is elegant and composed. It’s sweet and savory with no sharp grassy edges or lingering bitterness. The texture is silky, and the finish fades cleanly with a faint sweetness that feels almost milky.
It also performs beautifully in different forms, both as usucha (thin tea) and as a latte. With oat or soymilk, the umami becomes more pronounced; with almond milk, it feels lighter and slightly fresher.
It’s not the cheapest matcha out there, but every gram feels worth it.
