by Itoh Kyuemon伊藤久右衛門
A premium tea-ceremony-grade matcha offering rich kokumi (depth of flavor) and beautifully balanced umami and astringency. Sourced from Kyotanabe and Joyo growing districts in Kyoto Prefecture. Intended for o-koicha preparation and used in multiple tea ceremony schools (流派).
Editorial verdict
A step below Hokyu in price but nearly its equal in ceremony-readiness. Jukyu’s umami depth makes for an impressive thick tea with a sustained finish. A strong choice for practitioners who want a reliable high-grade matcha without the premium hand-picked price tag.
