by Marukyu Koyamaen丸久小山園
Eiju is a premium ceremonial-grade Uji matcha from Marukyu Koyamaen, sitting above Unkaku and Kinrin in their principal lineup. Stone-milled from top-grade Uji tencha, it offers deep umami, pronounced natural sweetness, and minimal bitterness — with a refined aroma and a long, elegant finish. Best appreciated as usucha or koicha.
Editorial verdict
High-end Marukyu Koyamaen — a noticeable step beyond Unkaku in depth and refinement. For those who drink matcha straight and want the richest possible flavour without reaching koicha-exclusive territory.
