Sōkaku no Shiro (Ceremonial Matcha)
A premium usucha (thin tea) personally selected by the 16th grand tea master of the Urasenke school, Zabōsai Sōshō of Konnichian.

Sōkaku no Shiro is a refined blend of ceremonial-grade matcha designed for preparation as usucha, the lighter style of matcha enjoyed in daily tea gatherings and more casual tea occasions. It features a soft, smooth flavor with minimal bitterness and a subtle sweetness that lingers gently on the palate. The name, meaning “White Twin Cranes,” symbolizes purity and harmony, aligning beautifully with the spirit of tea.
