by Fukujuen福寿園
The mid-tier of Fukujuen's original stone-ground line. 'Aka' (Vermilion) delivers deeper umami and a richer body than Shiro, with an elegant astringency that holds up well to both thin and thick preparation. Its vivid deep-green liquor and smooth finish are hallmarks of Uji's finest covered-cultivation tencha.
Editorial verdict
A well-rounded ceremonial matcha that bridges everyday drinking and serious tea ceremony use. The Aka hits a sweet spot—more substantive than the Shiro without the intensity of the Gen. Suitable for confident usucha and a satisfying koicha. Excellent value per gram at its price tier.
