by Marusan Koroen丸三香露園
The entry point into Marusan Koroen's ceremonial matcha lineup. NISHIKI is made from first-flush Uji tea leaves shade-grown for 20-30 days before harvest, producing a vivid bright green powder with a smooth, silky texture. Its aroma is gently sweet with subtle roasted notes, while the flavor balances rich umami against light, pleasant bitterness - an accessible and satisfying everyday ceremonial matcha.
Editorial verdict
A well-priced, reliable Uji ceremonial matcha for daily practice. Good umami and bright color at an entry-level price point.
