Shirakawa Asahi Matcha

A single-cultivar matcha cultivated in Shirakawa, Uji, and produced by the Tsuji family. Asahi offers delicate umami, natural sweetness, and a clean, gentle character. Lighter in body than our Samidori, its subtle complexity unfolds into a smooth, refined finish.

First-flush leaves are shaded beneath a traditional double-layer canopy for approximately 30–40 days, picked by hand, and slowly ground using stone mills.
