by Nakamura Tokichi Honten中村藤吉本店
A koicha-recommended ceremonial matcha showcasing the finest character of Uji tencha. Uji no Mukashi (“Uji’s Past”) presents a bright, vivid green and an elegant taste with no sharp edges—sweetness and pleasant bitterness in perfect harmony. Stone-milled from select Kyoto Prefecture gardens.
Editorial verdict
A premium koicha that earns its price with elegance and refinement. The absence of harsh edges makes Uji no Mukashi particularly expressive as thick tea—its umami unfolds slowly and lingers. A serious, ceremony-caliber matcha from a brand with deep Urasenke ties.
