- Description
- Tsujirihei Honten · Est. 1860 · Three-Cultivar Ceremonial Blend · Creamy & Umami-Rich · Maison Koko Exclusive · First Release Outside Japan Description Kaguyama. In Japanese classical poetry, Kaguyama is one of the three sacred mountains of Yamato, celebrated in the Man'yōshū, Japan's oldest poetry anthology, as a symbol of natural grandeur, seasonal beauty, and timeless reverence. It is a name drawn from the very foundation of Japanese cultural and literary heritage, and it belongs to a matcha of equal stature. Luxurious and meditative, Kaguyama is a premium ceremonial blend crafted from three of Uji's most celebrated cultivars: Samidori, Tenmyo, and Okumidori. Each contributes a distinct dimension: Samidori brings natural sweetness and smooth creaminess, Okumidori delivers deep umami and full body. And Tenmyo, itself a cultivar born from Asahi and Samidori parentage, bridges the two with aromatic complexity and refined structure. Together they create a matcha of rare integration: no single note dominates, yet every note is present. It opens with a smooth, creamy mouthfeel and a generous wave of umami. Toasted nut notes and fresh green character emerge slowly and linger gently, building toward a rich, regal finish that stays long after the last sip. This is a matcha designed for the meditative moment, deliberate, layered, and deeply satisfying.
