- Description
- Tsujirihei Honten · Est. 1860 · Competition Grade Samidori · Silken & Serene · Maison Koko Exclusive · First Release Outside Japan Description Manyo no Mukashi. Man'yō (万葉) is the name of Japan's oldest and most celebrated poetry anthology, the Man'yōshū, compiled in the 8th century, a collection of verses devoted to nature, seasons, and the quiet beauty of the world. Mukashi is a traditional designation in tea naming, marking this as made the old way, by methods unchanged for generations. Together, the name evokes a matcha rooted in ancient beauty, made exactly as it always has been. Where other matchas in the Tsujirihei Honten collection announce themselves boldly, Manyo no Mukashi arrives quietly, and that is its gift. Crafted from Asahi, Ujihikari, and competition-grade Samidori , it leads with silken softness rather than intensity. The texture glides. The umami builds slowly, rising from subtle to rich over the course of the cup. The finish is long and elegant, unhurried, serene, and deeply satisfying in the way that only restraint can be. This is a matcha for those who appreciate the poetry of the understated. Steeped in centuries of Uji tradition and brought to life by 160 years of Tsujirihei Honten mastery, Manyo no Mukashi is as much an experience as it is a cup of tea.
