Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before choosing your Marukyu Koyamaen matcha.
-
For beginners, Aoarashi and Isuzu are excellent starting points. Aoarashi offers a refreshing and approachable profile for everyday usucha, while Isuzu provides a more balanced combination of aroma, umami, astringency, and slight bitterness.
-
Isuzu is a versatile choice for matcha lattes because its flavor works well with milk or cream. For customers who primarily want matcha for lattes, baking, and desserts, Wakatake is another practical option because it belongs to Marukyu Koyamaen's Matcha for Cooking range.
-
Marukyu Koyamaen offers different matcha selections with distinct flavor profiles and recommended uses rather than relying on a simple “ceremonial” versus “culinary” grading system. Lower-priced Principal Matcha such as Aoarashi is suited to everyday usucha, while selections such as Kinrin and Unkaku are suitable for both usucha and koicha.
-
Choose Aoarashi for refreshing everyday matcha, Isuzu for balanced usucha and matcha lattes, Chigi no Shiro for a refreshing balance of astringency and umami, Yugen for grassy aroma and mellow umami, Wako for smooth premium usucha, Kinrin for richer matcha suitable for both usucha and koicha, Unkaku for a premium traditional matcha experience, or Wakatake for lattes, baking, and culinary use.
