Marukyu Koyamaen Unkaku Matcha – Ceremonial Japanese Matcha

Marukyu Koyamaen Unkaku Matcha – Ceremonial Japanese Matcha

Rich, smooth, and elegantly sweet.

Unkaku by Marukyu Koyamaen is a premium ceremonial Japanese matcha known for its soft mouthfeel, sweet aroma, and rich, full-bodied flavour.

Smooth and refined with a lingering finish, Unkaku offers greater depth and richness than Marukyu Koyamaen’s everyday matcha while remaining gentle and beautifully balanced. It can be enjoyed slightly stronger as usucha to bring out its elegant character, or prepared traditionally as koicha for a more concentrated and luxurious experience.

Best For

• Traditional usucha / thin tea

• Koicha / thick tea

• Hot matcha

• Premium daily matcha

How to Use

For traditional usucha, sift 2g of Unkaku into a bowl, add 60–70ml warm water, then whisk quickly in a W or M motion until smooth and lightly frothy. For a richer experience, use slightly more matcha or a little less water to bring out Unkaku’s depth and sweetness.

For koicha, sift approximately 4g of Unkaku into a bowl and gradually add around 30–40ml warm water. Knead slowly with a chasen until the matcha becomes thick, glossy, and smooth rather than frothy.

Storage

Keep sealed and store away from heat, light, moisture, and strong odours. After opening, close tightly and refrigerate for best freshness.
