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: around 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 the matcha becomes smooth and develops a fine layer of foam.

Enjoy immediately.

Everyday Matcha Latte

Matsukaze is an excellent choice for a daily hot or iced matcha latte.

Recommended preparation:

• 3–4g Matsukaze Matcha
• 40–50ml warm water

• Sweetener, optional

Sift the matcha and whisk with warm water until smooth.

Add steamed milk for a hot latte or pour over cold milk and ice for an iced matcha latte.

Its refreshing bitterness works particularly well with the natural sweetness and creaminess of milk.
