Checked the full official matcha catalog (Principal matcha, Matcha Favored by Tea Schools, Matcha Favored by Temple, Limited Edition Teas, Matcha for Cooking, Sweetened Matcha - via both the categorized view and the ?viewall=1 full listing) and the Matcha for Cooking (syokuhin) sub-category specifically, since third parties describe Ayame as a culinary/food-processing grade. No product named 'Ayame' appears anywhere on marukyu-koyamaen.co.jp/english/shop.

Third Party Description Unverified

Multiple retailers identifying as Marukyu Koyamaen resellers (Nara Tea Co, Luna Matcha, Serendipity Australia, Japanese Select, Yami, Amazon, eBay) describe 'Ayame' as a culinary-grade matcha powder from Uji, sold in bulk-oriented sizes (100g up to 1kg), marketed for lattes, baking, and food service, with a refreshing aroma and robust bitterness suited to milk/sugar preparations.

Note On Naming

It is possible 'Ayame' is a reseller-assigned name for a bulk/wholesale-grade Marukyu Koyamaen matcha rather than a name Marukyu Koyamaen uses on its own direct-to-consumer English shop; this could not be confirmed or denied from the official site.

Research notes

NOT FOUND on the official Marukyu Koyamaen English shop despite thorough checking of every matcha sub-category and the full product listing. All information above comes from third-party retailers, not the brand's own site, and is flagged as unverified rather than presented as confirmed official data.
