by Ippodo一保堂
Ippodo's pinnacle ceremonial-grade matcha, Kanza is their most prestigious offering in regular production. Made from the finest hand-picked Uji tencha, stone-milled with meticulous care. The flavour is supremely rich — profound umami, deep natural sweetness, and extraordinary complexity with near-zero bitterness. Reserved for koicha preparation in a formal tea setting.
Editorial verdict
Ippodo's best. At .20/g it is collector territory — an experience rather than an everyday drink. Koicha prepared with Kanza is among the most refined matcha experiences available outside a teahouse.
