- The third unique character to emerge in the "Premium Hatsu-Mukashi" series. While "Premium Hatsu-Mukashi “ No.1 ”" and "Premium Hatsu-Mukashi “ No.2 ”" pursued a multi-layered world of umami derived from "Asahi" cultivars grown in Shirakawa, "Premium Hatsu-Mukashi “ No.3 ”" is a matcha that focuses on the vibrant aroma and the lingering aftertaste of "Asahi" nurtured by the soil of Naka-Uji and Gokasho. Two types of "Asahi" that earned high acclaim at the 2025 National Tea Competition were meticulously blended (gogumi), aged to perfection, and then carefully stone-ground using a tea mortar. Rather than focusing solely on the volume of umami itself, this matcha is designed to accentuate the "depth of aroma" and "beauty of the aftertaste" inherent to matcha as a beverage. Upon taking a sip, what spreads first is an umami with a pleasant richness. Closely following behind, a delicate bitterness rises to give contour to the flavor. This rhythm of transition transforms into a clean, crisp finish, leaving a vivid impression. The intensely rich aroma characteristic of "Asahi" gains even greater depth through aging, resulting in multiple layers of both shaded aroma (oika) and umami aroma. This complex, deep fragrance is a true gift from the terroir of Uji and Gokasho. When prepared as koicha, its lustrous, bright green color stands out beautifully. This hue, changing its expression depending on the angle of the light, is one of the elements that shapes the allure of this matcha alongside its flavor and aroma. "Premium Hatsu-Mukashi “ No.3 ”" is a bowl of tea crafted specifically for those who wish to experience the true essence of matcha's aroma and lingering aftertaste. *Other Grades Matcha Premium Hatsu-Mukashi Contents 20g can Expiration Date 3 months Allergens none
