Wako 100g | Marukyu Koyamaen Kyoto | Kisshomori

Discover One of Marukyu Koyamaen's Most Beloved Matcha Blends

For centuries, Marukyu Koyamaen has been synonymous with premium Uji matcha, trusted by tea masters and tea ceremony schools throughout Japan. Among its signature ceremonial blends, Wako stands out as an elegant everyday matcha that perfectly balances freshness, smoothness, and versatility.

Named "Wako" (和光), meaning Harmony and Light, this blend offers a clean, refreshing character with gentle umami and a silky finish. Whether enjoyed as traditional usucha or crafted into a premium matcha latte, Wako delivers the authentic taste of Kyoto in every bowl.

Crafted in Uji, Kyoto

Every can of Wako begins in Uji, Kyoto, Japan's most celebrated matcha-producing region.

The tea plants are shade-grown before harvest to increase chlorophyll and amino acid content, developing the vibrant green color and signature umami that distinguish high-quality ceremonial matcha.

After harvesting, the leaves are carefully processed into tencha and slowly stone-ground into an ultra-fine powder, preserving both aroma and flavor while producing the smooth texture expected from premium Japanese matcha.

Taste Profile

• Flavor: mild umami, balanced sweetness, clean finishing notes
• Aroma: fresh, soft, naturally sweet
• Color: bright, luminous jade-green
• Texture: fine, silky, airy microfoam

This is the matcha for people who want purity without heaviness and brightness without bitterness.
