Shikibu no Mukashi by Yamamasa Koyamaen 30g can

Shikibu no Mukashi (式部の昔) is a creamy, ceremonial-grade matcha from Yamamasa Koyamaen, a renowned Uji tea producer established in 1861. This mid-tier flagship blend delivers a full-bodied umami punch with toasted seed and nutty undertones, balanced by velvety sweetness and a hint of gentle astringency—an elegant choice for usucha or richer matcha experiences like koicha.

- Creamy & Umami‑Rich: Intensely creamy texture with lingering umami and savory toasted-seed aroma.

- Elevated Everyday Matcha: Mid-tier quality that “punches well above its weight,” robust but not overpowering.
