by Marusan Koroen丸三香露園
SHINRA is Marusan Koroen's entry into JAS-certified organic matcha. First-flush Uji leaves are shade-grown for 20-30 days and milled into a fine, slightly bright green powder with a delicate luster. The aroma carries refreshing green-leaf notes alongside warm, nutty toastiness. On the palate, SHINRA is clean and refreshing with little to no bitterness or astringency - gentle umami unfolds smoothly across the finish.
Editorial verdict
A clean, refreshing organic Uji matcha with good luster and low bitterness. JAS-certified for those prioritizing organic sourcing.
