Best Way to Enjoy Aoarashi

Traditional Usucha – Recommended

Marukyu Koyamaen officially recommends Aoarashi for making thin tea, or usucha.

Suggested preparation:

• 1.5–2g Aoarashi Matcha
• 60–70ml warm water
• Water temperature: approximately 75–80°C / 167–176°F

How to Prepare

1. Warm your matcha bowl and bamboo whisk.
2. Empty the water and dry the bowl.
3. Sift approximately 1.5–2g of Aoarashi into the bowl.
4. Add 60–70ml of warm water.
5. Whisk briskly in an “M” or “W” motion.
6. Continue until smooth with a fine layer of foam.
7. Enjoy immediately.

Preparing Aoarashi simply with water allows you to experience its refreshing green tea character.

Aoarashi Matcha Latte

Aoarashi can also be used for milk-based matcha drinks.

Its refreshing matcha character provides a pleasant contrast to creamy milk, making it suitable for both hot and iced preparations.

Hot Matcha Latte

Ingredients:

• 3–4g Aoarashi
• 40–50ml warm water
• 150–180ml milk
• Sweetener, optional

Preparation

1. Sift the Aoarashi into a bowl.
2. Add warm water.
3. Whisk until completely smooth.
4. Add steamed milk.
5. Sweeten according to preference.
6. Enjoy immediately.

Iced Aoarashi Matcha Latte

For an iced version:

• 3–4g Aoarashi
• 40–50ml warm water
• 150–180ml cold milk
• Ice
• Sweetener, optional

Whisk the matcha with warm water until smooth.

Fill a glass with ice and milk before pouring the prepared matcha over the top.

Is Aoarashi Culinary Matcha?

Aoarashi is not officially categorized as culinary matcha by Marukyu Koyamaen.

This distinction is important.

Aoarashi belongs to Marukyu Koyamaen's Principal Matcha collection and is recommended for making traditional thin tea.

However, the producer also notes that Aoarashi works well when mixed with milk or cream for confectionery.

Therefore, Aoarashi can certainly be used for:

• Matcha lattes
• Matcha milk
• Iced matcha
• Matcha cream
• Selected desserts
• Confectionery

But this does not make Aoarashi an official “culinary-grade” matcha.

Customers primarily looking for baking, desserts, and culinary applications should consider Marukyu Koyamaen's dedicated Matcha for Cooking range.

Is Aoarashi Ceremonial Grade?

Aoarashi is sometimes described by international retailers as “ceremonial-grade matcha.”

However, ceremonial grade is not an official standardized Japanese matcha classification.

Marukyu Koyamaen categorizes Aoarashi as a Principal Matcha and recommends it for traditional thin tea.

For Kisshomori, a more accurate description is:

Authentic Japanese drinking matcha for usucha and everyday use.

“Ceremonial matcha” may still appear naturally as a supporting SEO term where useful, but it should not be presented as Marukyu Koyamaen's official grade.

Is Aoarashi Suitable for Koicha?

Aoarashi is recommended for usucha rather than koicha.

Its refreshing everyday profile is better suited to traditional thin matcha.

Customers interested in preparing thick tea should consider moving higher within Marukyu Koyamaen's Principal Matcha range.

For everyday traditional preparation:

Aoarashi → Usucha ✓

Aoarashi → Koicha ✕

Why Choose Aoarashi 100g?

The 100g format is particularly convenient for customers who drink matcha frequently.

At approximately 2g per usucha: 100g ≈ 50 bowls

For matcha lattes using 3g: 100g ≈ 33 lattes

For stronger matcha lattes using 4g: 100g ≈ 25 lattes

This makes Aoarashi 100g particularly suitable for:

• Daily matcha drinkers
• Matcha latte lovers
• Home baristas
• Existing Aoarashi fans
• Households with multiple matcha drinkers
• Customers who find 20g or 40g containers too small

Who Should Choose Aoarashi 100g?

Marukyu Koyamaen Aoarashi 100g is particularly suitable for:

• Daily matcha drinkers
• Traditional usucha drinkers
• Matcha latte lovers
• Marukyu Koyamaen beginners
• Customers looking for an accessible Principal Matcha
• Customers who enjoy matcha with both water and milk

How to Store Marukyu Koyamaen Aoarashi

Matcha is sensitive to heat, oxygen, moisture, light, and strong odors.

For best freshness:

• Keep the package tightly sealed.
• Protect from direct sunlight.
• Store away from heat and humidity.
• Keep away from strongly scented foods.
• Always use clean and dry utensils.
• Store in a dark, cool cabinet or refrigerator.
• Minimize how long the package remains open.

If refrigerated, allow the sealed package to approach room temperature before opening to help minimize condensation.

Storage Tip for 100g

Because 100g is a relatively large amount of matcha, frequent drinkers may want to keep a smaller portion in an airtight container for everyday use while leaving the remaining matcha tightly sealed.

This helps reduce repeated exposure to oxygen and moisture.
