by Nakamura Tokichi Honten中村藤吉本店
The entry point of Nakamura Tokichi’s matcha range. Ukishima no Shiro (“Floating Island White”) offers a vibrant green liquor with little to no astringency and a clean, smooth body. Stone-milled from Uji tencha, it is notably free of the graininess that afflicts lower-grade matcha.
Editorial verdict
Exceptional value from a heritage Uji brand. Given Nakamura Tokichi’s overall quality level, the entry-grade Ukishima no Shiro punches well above its price—reviewers consistently note its vivid color and smooth texture. A strong pick for daily drinking and lattes.
