Matcha Powder Tonouchi Mukashi from Kanbayashi Shunsho 20g

Tonouchi no Mukashi (Ceremonial Matcha)

A prestigious ceremonial-grade matcha personally selected by Omotesenke's 15th grand tea master, Fushin'an's Mushanokoji-sōshō (Myōsai Sōshō).

Tonouchi no Mukashi is an exceptional koicha (thick tea) blend crafted for formal tea gatherings. It offers a profound, layered umami flavor with a smooth and full-bodied texture. This matcha exhibits a refined balance—deep richness without overwhelming bitterness—making it well-suited for guests of honor in traditional tea ceremonies.

Tonouchi no Mukashi is a slightly more robust blend compared to Yoshino no Mori, delivering a fuller presence on the palate while still maintaining elegance and clarity. It is intended to be prepared as koicha and is not recommended for dessert applications.
