How to Prepare Aoarashi as Usucha

Marukyu Koyamaen recommends Aoarashi for preparing thin tea (usucha).

Suggested Preparation

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

Preparation

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.

For your first serving, try Aoarashi simply with water to experience its refreshing matcha character.

Aoarashi Matcha Latte

Aoarashi can also be enjoyed with milk.

Its refreshing green tea character provides a pleasant contrast against creamy milk, making it suitable for both hot and iced matcha lattes.

Hot Matcha Latte

Ingredients:

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

Sift the matcha, whisk with warm water until completely smooth, then add steamed milk.

Iced Matcha Latte

Try:

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

Whisk the matcha with warm water before pouring it over a glass filled with milk and ice.

Is Aoarashi Culinary Grade Matcha?

Aoarashi is sometimes marketed internationally as a culinary or latte matcha because of its approachable flavor and ability to pair with milk.

However, Marukyu Koyamaen does not officially categorize Aoarashi as culinary matcha.

Aoarashi belongs to the producer's Principal Matcha collection and is recommended for traditional thin tea.

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

Therefore, Aoarashi can be used for:

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

For Kisshomori, the most accurate positioning is: Refreshing Everyday Japanese Matcha for Usucha & Lattes

rather than simply: Culinary Grade Matcha

Is Aoarashi Ceremonial Grade?

Aoarashi may also be described by international retailers as “ceremonial-grade matcha” because it can be prepared traditionally with water.

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

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

For Kisshomori, “ceremonial matcha” can be used naturally as a supporting SEO term, but it should not be presented as Marukyu Koyamaen's official product grade.

Is Aoarashi Suitable for Koicha?

Aoarashi is best suited to usucha rather than koicha.

Its refreshing everyday character works particularly well as traditional thin tea.

Aoarashi → Usucha ✓

Aoarashi → Koicha ✕

Customers interested in exploring traditional thick tea should consider higher-level Marukyu Koyamaen selections designed for richer preparation.

Why Choose the 40g Can?

The 40g can is particularly useful for customers trying Aoarashi for the first time.

At approximately 2g per traditional serving: 40g ≈ 20 bowls of usucha

For matcha lattes using 3g: 40g ≈ 13 lattes

For stronger lattes using 4g: 40g ≈ 10 lattes

The 40g format is therefore ideal for:

• First-time Aoarashi buyers
• Everyday matcha drinkers
• Traditional usucha
• Occasional matcha lattes
• Customers prioritizing freshness
• Customers exploring Marukyu Koyamaen
• Matcha tasting collections
