Sōkaku-no-Shiro Premium Uji Matcha by Kanbayashi Shunsho

Sokaku no Shiro – Premium Uji Matcha for both Usucha and Koicha

Sokaku no Shiro is a premium grade matcha distinguished by its smooth, refined flavor with gentle umami and a clean finish. Stone-milled from carefully selected shade-grown tencha, it yields a deep, vivid green color and a luxurious, full-bodied flavor ideal for both Koicha (thick tea) and Usucha (thin tea) in the Japanese tea ceremony. Its harmonious balance of intensity and smoothness makes it a favorite among experienced tea practitioners seeking a truly traditional Uji matcha experience.

The name, “White of the Twin Cranes,” evokes harmony, grace, and longevity symbolizing the unity and enduring beauty of traditional Japanese tea in every bowl.
