Matcha Shoukaku from Hokoen 40g

Shoukaku Matcha by Hokoen

"Shoukaku" matcha is an exceptional choice for those seeking something truly special in a koicha (thick tea). As koicha, it offers a crystal-clear, uniquely delicious, and concentrated tea essence that stands out for its purity and depth. When prepared as usucha (thin tea), "Shoukaku" captivates with its incredibly sweet and long-lasting flavour, providing a delightful experience that lingers on the palate. This matcha is a true culinary delight, sure to exceed expectations and satisfy those with a taste for the extraordinary.

The name "Shoukaku" ("松鶴") is rich in symbolism, with "松" ("shou") representing the pine tree, a symbol of vitality and endurance, and "鶴" ("kaku") signifying the crane, often associated with happy marriages and long life. The crane's call, said to reach the heavens, reflects the tea maker's wish for "Shoukaku" to become widely known and cherished. This matcha embodies the strength and elegance of these symbols, offering a tea experience that is both uplifting and memorable.
