by Ippodo一保堂
A medium-bodied Uji matcha from Ippodo with refreshing bitterness slightly more noticeable than its sweetness and umami. Astringency, umami, and sweetness come together in balanced proportion, with a bright aroma reminiscent of sun-dried straw. Versatile and reliable for everyday use.
Editorial verdict
Ippodo's most popular entry-level ceremonial grade. A trustworthy everyday matcha with a vibrant, snappy character — excellent value at /bin/bash.85/g, especially for lattes where its slight astringency adds pleasing bite.
