It can be incorporated into:

• Iced matcha drinks
• Cakes
• Bread
• Ice cream
• Pastries
• Cookies
• Creams
• Desserts

The 1kg bag makes Byakuren particularly suitable for businesses that require consistent quantities of authentic Japanese matcha.

About Marukyu Koyamaen

Today, Marukyu Koyamaen produces an extensive selection of Japanese green teas ranging from prestigious matcha for traditional Chanoyu to food-grade matcha developed for sweets, desserts, and professional culinary applications.

The company's philosophy emphasizes quality throughout cultivation, selection, processing, blending, and production.

For professional customers, this heritage provides the opportunity to use matcha from one of Japan's established tea producers in modern café and culinary applications.

Byakuren for Matcha Lattes

Byakuren is an excellent option for businesses looking for Japanese matcha for milk-based beverages.

Suggested Café Starting Recipe

Hot Matcha Latte

• 3–4g Byakuren Matcha
• 40–50ml warm water
• 180–220ml milk
• Sweetener to taste

Sift the matcha before whisking with warm water.

Add steamed milk and adjust the matcha concentration based on your cup size and desired flavor intensity.

Iced Matcha Latte

• 4–5g Byakuren
• 40–50ml water
• 180–220ml cold milk
• Ice
• Sweetener, optional

For flavored drinks such as strawberry matcha or vanilla matcha, slightly increasing the matcha concentration can help maintain the tea character alongside syrup and milk.

Byakuren for Baking

Byakuren is particularly useful for baked applications because its stronger tea character can remain noticeable after being combined with other ingredients.

Try it in:

• Matcha pound cake
• Matcha cookies
• Matcha cheesecake
• Matcha muffins
• Matcha brownies
• Matcha bread
• Matcha croissants
• Matcha madeleines
• Matcha sponge cake

Professional Tip

Matcha is sensitive to prolonged heat.

For recipes where visual color and fresh tea aroma are particularly important, consider combining baked applications with matcha cream, glaze, frosting, dusting, or other lower-temperature components.

Byakuren for Ice Cream & Desserts

Matcha pairs naturally with dairy, cream, and sugar, making Byakuren an excellent ingredient for dessert menus.

Professional applications include:

• Matcha ice cream
• Matcha gelato
• Matcha soft serve
• Matcha tiramisu
• Matcha mousse
• Matcha panna cotta
• Matcha pudding
• Matcha whipped cream
• Matcha cheesecake
• Matcha parfaits

Its characteristic matcha aroma and astringency can provide balance against the sweetness and richness of dessert ingredients.

Why Choose a 1kg Matcha Bag?

Small 20g or 40g tins are practical for home users but are not efficient for professional kitchens.

The 1kg Byakuren bag contains 1,000g of matcha, making it significantly better suited to commercial preparation.

Approximate Yield

At 3g per drink: 1kg ≈ 333 servings

At 4g per drink: 1kg ≈ 250 servings

At 5g per drink: 1kg ≈ 200 servings

Actual yield will depend on your recipe, cup size, and desired matcha intensity.

For a café using approximately 4g per matcha latte, one 1kg bag can therefore produce around 250 drinks.

Cost-Per-Drink Advantage

For cafés and restaurants, purchasing larger matcha formats can make recipe costing easier.

For example: Cost per gram = Price of 1kg bag ÷ 1,000

Then: Matcha cost per latte = Cost per gram × Grams used per drink

If your café uses 4g per drink, simply multiply your cost per gram by four.

This allows businesses to calculate:

• Ingredient cost per drink
• Gross margin
• Menu pricing
• Promotional pricing
• Recipe profitability

The 1kg format is therefore particularly useful for businesses managing matcha as a regular menu category rather than an occasional specialty ingredient.

Is Byakuren Ceremonial Grade?

Byakuren should not primarily be marketed as ceremonial-grade matcha.

“Ceremonial grade” itself is not an official standardized Japanese matcha classification, and Byakuren's strongest use case is professional culinary preparation.

For Kisshomori, the most accurate positioning is:

Authentic Japanese culinary matcha for professional beverages, baking, and desserts.

Customers looking primarily for traditional usucha or koicha should consider Marukyu Koyamaen's drinking-focused matcha selections instead.

Is Byakuren Good for Matcha Lattes?

Byakuren is particularly practical for matcha lattes because its noticeable matcha character can complement milk and sweetener. It can be used for:

• Traditional matcha latte
• Iced matcha latte
• Vanilla matcha latte
• Strawberry matcha latte
• Coconut matcha
• Mango matcha
• Matcha espresso fusion drinks
• Seasonal café beverages

Adjust the amount of matcha according to milk volume and sweetness.

Who Should Buy Byakuren 1kg?

Marukyu Koyamaen Byakuren 1kg is particularly suitable for:

• Café owners
• Coffee shops
• Matcha cafés
• Bakeries
• Restaurants
• Dessert shops
• Ice cream shops
• Professional pastry chefs
• Catering businesses
• Foodservice operators
• High-volume matcha users
• Businesses looking for Japanese matcha in Canada

For most individual home users, 1kg may be more matcha than can be consumed at peak freshness.

The 1kg format is therefore best suited to customers with consistent, high-volume matcha consumption.

How to Store Byakuren 1kg

Proper storage is extremely important when working with a large 1kg bag of matcha.

Matcha is sensitive to:

• Oxygen
• Heat
• Humidity
• Light
• Strong odors

Store Byakuren in a cool, dry location away from light and air.

Refrigeration or freezing can help preserve a large unopened or properly sealed supply.

After opening, use the matcha as soon as practical for the best quality.

Professional Storage Tip

For cafés and restaurants, avoid repeatedly opening the entire 1kg bag throughout the service day.

Instead:

1. Keep the main supply tightly sealed and properly stored.
2. Transfer only the amount needed for daily service into a smaller airtight container.
3. Use clean, dry utensils.
4. Refill the service container as needed.
5. Keep both containers protected from heat, moisture, and strong odors.

This reduces unnecessary exposure of the main supply to air and humidity.
