Shikibu no Mukashi by Yamamasa Koyamaen
Shikibu no Mukashi (式部の昔) is a creamy, ceremonial-grade matcha from Yamamasa Koyamaen, a renowned Uji tea producer established in 1861. This mid-tier flagship blend delivers a full-bodied umami punch with toasted seed and nutty undertones, balanced by velvety sweetness and a hint of gentle astringency—an elegant choice for usucha or richer matcha experiences like koicha.
About this item:
- Creamy & Umami‑Rich: Intensely creamy texture with lingering umami and savory toasted-seed aroma.
- Elevated Everyday Matcha: Mid-tier quality that “punches well above its weight,” robust but not overpowering.
- Toasted & Nutty Notes: Subtle savory sweetness and toasted seed nuance distinguish its flavor.
- Ceremony‑Ready & Versatile: Suitable for both light thin tea (usucha) and richer forms like koicha; some enjoy it as a bold latte.
- Uji Heritage: Cultivated, stone-ground, and packaged in Uji, Kyoto by Yamamasa Koyamaen.
- Two Sizes: Available in 30 g and 150 g cans—perfect for sampling or regular enjoyment.
