In name and in truth, from the center of Uji— Uji, Uji City, Kyoto. Composed solely from this central district, where the history, craft, and circulation of Uji matcha have long converged. A clear green hue. Refined umami. A fine, delicate foam. A lingering, lucid finish. Without explanation, sip by sip, one simply nods— “This is Uji.” A cup crafted exclusively from the heartland where the name of Uji matcha was nurtured. The very center of Uji— just as it is. It is suitable for both koicha (thick tea) and usucha (thin tea). Presented in a wooden box, it is ideal for serving to guests as well as for gifts. Origin：Kyoto, Japan Source Composition：Single Tea Garden, Single Culti

Research notes
The page's own title renders as '"Uji Fudo" (Terroir of Uji) Uji of Uji' - an apparent duplication/translation artifact in the trailing 'Uji of Uji' (likely meant to read something like 'the heart of Uji'), retained verbatim as it appeared. Identically priced (¥27,000) to the Reiwa 7 Award-Winning (First Prize) Matcha, both 30g single-cultivar Asahi teas with the same shading period, though sourced from different named gardens (Terakawa vs. Uji/Kumiyama) - no certifications, awards, or review ratings were disclosed on this page.
