- Description
- Tsujirihei Honten · Est. 1860 · Competition Grade Asahi · Deep Umami & Velvety · Maison Koko Exclusive · First Release Outside Japan Description 加茂昔 — Kamo Mukashi. Kamo (加茂) refers to the Kamo area of Kyoto, the river and shrines that have stood at the heart of the city for over a thousand years. Mukashi (昔) is a traditional designation in tea naming, marking this as koicha-grade tea, made the old way, by methods unchanged for generations. Together, the name speaks of permanence: a place that has not moved, and a method that has not changed. Elegant and quietly powerful, Kamo Mukashi is a premium ceremonial matcha that carries the full depth of Uji's tea heritage. It is built around Asahi , a competition-grade cultivar whose tencha has won national recognition at Japan's most prestigious tea competitions, including the Minister's Award at the 2022 National Tea Competition. Blended with Ujihikari and Samidori for balance and silk, the result is a matcha of exceptional complexity and composure. It opens with a soft cover aroma, gentle, floral, and distinctly Uji. On the palate, layers of rich umami unfold slowly, carried on a velvety texture that coats and lingers. This is not a matcha that announces itself. It reveals itself, sip by sip, with quiet authority.
