Matcha Hatsumukashi is Kambayashi Shunshō’s top-grade matcha, superb for preparing both usucha and koicha. As a thick koicha, it delivers bold, full-bodied flavors of fruit and dark chocolate with creamy notes and a long-lasting finish. When enjoyed as a thin usucha, its smooth texture deepens to reveal a rich sweetness and strong umami. Its fresh, tropical fruit aroma upon opening leads to a lasting feeling of deep satisfaction, marking it as a true gourmet matcha with the most intense flavor in the lineup.
