by Saijoen西条園
A popular value-oriented usucha with strong color, flavor, and aroma for the price. Saijoen also recommends it for cooking because its elegant astringency keeps the matcha taste present when mixed with milk or sugar.
Editorial verdict
One of Saijoen's best value tins for both straight usucha and culinary crossover use.
