¥8,000

This Matcha is made from the Uji cultivar called “Gokou”, characterized by its strong umami and rich taste, and the sweet aroma reminiscent of the honey of flowers. It is a difficult cultivar to grow due to the short best harvesting period, and the tea is carefully handpicked and produced in small quantities.
