by Gion Tsujiri祇園辻利
Juttoku (十徳) carries the personal seal of Daihozan Kenninji Temple (大本山建仁寺御用達), one of Kyoto's oldest Rinzai Zen temples. 'Juttoku' (ten virtues) references the ten traditional virtues of tea. Suitable primarily for koicha but also excellent as usucha. Stone-milled from Uji tencha, the name and lineage make this an important cultural artifact as much as a beverage.
Editorial verdict
A Zen temple-endorsed koicha with cultural weight and fine quality. Aromatic fragrance, solid umami, pleasant sweetness — impressive in the bowl and deeply satisfying.

About the brand
祇園辻利
Gion Tsujiri (祇園辻利) is one of Kyoto's most celebrated Uji tea houses, founded in 1860 (Manen 1) by Tsujiri Uemon in Uji during a period of Uji tea revival. The Tsujiri lineage later established its iconic presence in Kyoto's Gion district after the third generation expanded to Taiwan and the fourth generation resettled in Gion after WWII. Today Gion Tsujiri is renowned for its stone-mill ground matcha endorsed by all three major tea schools — Urasenke, Omotesenke, and Mushanokoji Senke — as well as Kenninji Temple, one of Kyoto's oldest Zen temples. Their matcha is produced at a rate of just 40g per hour to ensure quality.
