About this deal

However, don’t underrate its popularity as there were already people waiting in line. Understand that approximately 30 minutes of waiting time ahead of us which is still reasonable. So we just wrote down our names on the waiting list and wait patiently. When it comes to flavor, Morihan Matcha delivers a well-rounded and enjoyable taste. The tea exhibits a balance of umami, slight bitterness, and a touch of natural sweetness. The flavor is not overpowering, allowing for a pleasant and nuanced sipping experience. There are two main grades of matcha: culinary and ceremonial. The former is best for cooking purposes, the latter for general drinking purposes. You can whisk ceremonial matcha with hot water for traditional tea or mix it with milk for a matcha latte. For beginners who are new to matcha, it is generally recommended to start with a matcha that is considered suitable for everyday consumption and doesn’t require intricate preparation.

Hanayashiki Ukifune-en is a traditional Japanese ryokan in Uji. Spacious room with comfortable bed, facing with Uji river. Some of the rooms are even featuring with private onsen bath. Added, Japanese Kaiseki Dinner is available. One of the best places for a luxury stay in Uji. And you’ll recognise this high-quality with every sip of Chalait matcha. Chalait offers four varieties of flavor of ceremonial matcha – Everyday Grade Matcha, Organic Grade, Reserve Grade, Top Grade.This higher-quality Encha latte grade pure matcha is made from the first harvest of organic matcha grown in Kyoto’s Uji mountains. It’s high-quality is marked by it’s deep green and smoother taste when compared to other latte grade matcha. From farm to cup, the Uji tea leaves are subjected to an extensive and delicate process to reach the grade required for Uji matcha powder. The tea trees that fill Uji’s landscape are carefully kept shaded from the sun for two to six weeks before the leaves are harvested, which reduces photosynthesis and increases the chlorophyll content of the leaves. The youngest and greenest ‘first flush’ tea leaves are then harvested by hand, ensuring they’re of the highest quality. If the sieved matcha is to be served at a Japanese tea ceremony, then it will be placed into a small tea caddy known as a chaki. Otherwise, it can be scooped directly from the sieve into a chawan. You may be surprised to learn that Uji matcha is not a bitter tea. It does not contain much astringent components and has a mild taste. While it may not reach the same level of ceremonial-grade matcha, the quality is more than satisfactory for everyday enjoyment.

You will spot the statue of Murasaki Shikibu at the south end of the Uji-Bashi Bridge. Murasaki Shikibu is Japan’s most well-known novelist. Her romantic novel, Tale of Genji is one of the essential parts of the Japanese literary world. This romantic tale is still read and loved by people today. Most scenes are associated with the story and still can be found in Uji town. If you are interested, you may visit The Tale of Genji Museum to learn all about this literary and historical masterpiece. Take a Stroll on Byondo Street Only tea grown in Uji, Kyoto, the birthplace of green tea in Japan, and the surrounding area, and processed locally by a Kyoto-based supplier is called Uji tea. The mixture of water and tea powder is whisked to a uniform consistency using a bamboo whisk known as a chasen. No lumps should be left in the liquid, and no ground tea should remain on the sides of the bowl. Because matcha may be bitter, it is traditionally served with a small wagashi sweet [18] (intended to be consumed before drinking), [19] but without added milk or sugar. It is usually considered that 40g of matcha provides for 20 bowls of usucha or 10 bowls of koicha: [20] Other uses [ edit ]

The authenticity and dedication of Hibiki-an as a matcha producer shine through in every aspect of this product. As an avid matcha enthusiast, I’ve tasted various matcha brands, but Ochaski stands out for its exceptional quality and distinct flavor profile.
