Tsuyuhikari from Shizuoka

Juicy stone fruit on one side, toasted creaminess on the other. They may sound like opposites, but this matcha finds its character somewhere beautifully in between, making a convincing case that the two belong together after all.

Upon opening, a juicy, nectarine-like fruitiness immediately draws you in. Once whisked, softer aromas reminiscent of toasted buckwheat and oats begin to unfold, bringing a warm, grounding quality that carries beautifully onto the palate. Its mouthfeel finds a natural middle ground, neither too light nor overly rich, allowing the fruitiness and toasted character to remain beautifully balanced.

With milk, the nectarine-like juiciness remains present, while the toasted notes become softer and creamier. They may remind you of the balance found in a warm stone-fruit dessert. Ripe, juicy fruit met by the comforting richness of a freshly baked crust.

Bright yet rounded, fruity yet softly toasted. This matcha offers a profile that feels unexpected at first, yet wonderfully natural once experienced.
