Matcha Powder Ato Mukashi from Kanbayashi Shunsho 40g

Atomukashi (Ceremonial Matcha for Koicha)

Atomukashi is a traditional Uji matcha from Kanbayashi Shunsho, crafted specifically for making koicha (thick tea). In the Edo period, it was named to follow Hatsumukashi, offering a slightly different flavour profile. Both Hatsumukashi and Atomukashi were prestigious tea names reserved for the leading tea families of Uji.

Atomukashi presents a refined balance of deep, rich flavours, perfect for tea ceremonies and those who appreciate the subtle complexity of high-quality koicha. Its taste evolves gently, providing a nuanced experience that complements its historical significance.

Kanbayashi Shunsho

Founded by Kanbayashi Shunsho during the Eiroku period, Kanbayashi Shunsho Honten has a rich 450-year history as a prestigious tea house in Uji. Since the late 14th century, when the Ashikaga Shogunate helped elevate the reputation of Uji tea, the Kanbayashi family has been producing Uji tea. Now in its 14th generation, the family continues to uphold tradition while embracing innovation under the leadership of Kanbayashi Shunsho XIV, preserving the legacy of Uji tea and contributing to the evolution of tea culture in Japan.
