Unkaku

by Marukyu Koyamaen丸久小山園

One of Marukyu Koyamaen's most popular principal matchas, Unkaku is a rich, full-bodied ceremonial-grade Uji matcha with a sweet aroma, smooth finish, and complex layering of umami and natural sweetness. Subtle astringency adds depth without sharpness. Stone-milled from high-grade Uji tencha. Excellent for both usucha and koicha.

Editorial verdict

The crowd favourite from Marukyu Koyamaen's main line. Rich, smooth, and deeply satisfying — this is the blend most people reach for when they want serious ceremonial matcha without premium-tier pricing. Exceptional value at .58/g.
