What Is Yamamasa Koyamaen Matsukaze?

Matsukaze (松風) is one of the named matcha varieties produced by Yamamasa Koyamaen.

Yamamasa Koyamaen categorizes Matsukaze among its matcha for drinking, alongside selections such as Samidori and Yomo no Kaori.

At the same time, the producer recommends drinking-grade matcha such as Matsukaze for applications where the natural flavor of matcha can be appreciated without intense heat processing.

Best Ways to Enjoy Matsukaze

Traditional Usucha

Enjoy Matsukaze traditionally as usucha, or thin matcha.

Recommended preparation:

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

Sift the matcha into a dry matcha bowl.

Add warm water and whisk briskly with a bamboo chasen until smooth and lightly foamy.

Enjoy immediately.

Matcha Latte

Matsukaze is also an excellent option for an everyday hot or iced matcha latte.

Recommended preparation:

• 2–3g Matsukaze Matcha
• A small amount of warm water
• Approximately 150ml milk
• Sweetener, optional

Whisk the matcha until smooth before combining with warm milk.

For an iced latte, prepare the matcha concentrate first and pour it over cold milk and ice.

Using less sweetener allows more of Matsukaze's natural matcha character to remain noticeable.

How to Store Matsukaze Matcha

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

For the best freshness:

• Keep the package tightly sealed after opening.
• Store in a cool, dark location.
• Avoid direct sunlight and humidity.
• Refrigerate after opening when possible.
• If refrigerated, allow the sealed package to approach room temperature before opening to minimize condensation.
• Enjoy relatively soon after opening for the best aroma, color, and flavor.

Because 150g is a larger format, proper storage is especially important for maintaining freshness throughout the package.
