Description 2026 harvest Plucked in May during the first harvest in Hoshino, Yame, this ceremonial matcha prepared by Koga san is a premium blend of Yabukita and Okumidori cultivar s. We love its vivid green colour, smooth and velvety umami, nutty notes, and refreshing aroma. This unique Yame matcha was blended exclusively for IKKYU and comes in limited quantities. A refined matcha, MASASHI is complex and balanced with a rich mouthfeel and a lingering sweetness. You can brew it at 80C - 176C for a sweet spot, and increase the temperature at 90C - 194C for a boost of its nutty flavor. Sold in 30g tins, an outstanding Yame matcha that will please the most demanding matcha fans. Show more
