by Itoh Kyuemon伊藤久右衛門
Itoh Kyuemon’s finest ceremonial matcha, crafted primarily from rare hand-picked tencha leaves. Rich in concentrated umami and layered with a noble aroma that unfolds slowly in koicha. Sourced from select gardens in Kyoto Prefecture’s Uji district and stone-ground to order.
Editorial verdict
The pinnacle of Itoh Kyuemon’s matcha range. Hand-picked sourcing and meticulous stone-grinding yield an exceptionally smooth, umami-forward koicha. Not widely available outside Japan’s gifting season, making it a collector’s grade for serious ceremony practitioners.
