by Ippodo一保堂
A medium-rich Uji matcha from Ippodo with plentiful sweetness and umami richness, balanced by a slight refreshing bitterness. The aroma is pleasantly sweet and the finish is round and lingering. One of Ippodo's most well-rounded ceremonial grades, suited to both usucha and koicha.
Editorial verdict
A step up from Ikuyo — richer, rounder, and more satisfying. The balance of sweetness and umami is excellent. Solid choice for daily ceremonial preparation or lattes where you want more depth.
