What Is Yamamasa Koyamaen Matsukaze?

Matsukaze (松風) is one of the named matcha products in Yamamasa Koyamaen's lineup.

The producer lists Matsukaze among its matcha suitable for drinks and foods, alongside other selections such as Yomo-no-kaori, Samidori, and Maki-no-shiro.

The brand emphasizes quality and flavor as key priorities in its matcha production, noting that tea processing is relatively simple and that the quality of the raw tea leaves directly affects the final product.

Taste & Flavor Profile

Matsukaze is a versatile matcha that works particularly well when its green tea character needs to remain noticeable in a drink or recipe.

Tasting Notes

Fresh Green Tea · Gentle Umami · Balanced Bitterness · Pleasant Astringency · Clean Matcha Finish

The exact experience can vary depending on preparation method, water temperature, dosage, milk, sweetener, and the recipe in which the matcha is used.

For a traditional preparation, Matsukaze can be enjoyed simply with water.

For modern applications, its green tea character can provide a recognizable matcha flavor in milk-based drinks and desserts.

Matsukaze for Matcha Lattes

One of the strongest applications for a larger format like Matsukaze 300g is the matcha latte.

The creamy texture of milk can soften the natural bitterness and astringency of matcha while allowing its characteristic green tea flavor to remain prominent.

Classic Matcha Latte

Ingredients:

• 3–4g Yamamasa Koyamaen Matsukaze
• 40–50ml warm water
• 150–180ml milk
• Sweetener, optional
• Ice, optional

Preparation

1. Sift 3–4g of Matsukaze into a bowl.
2. Add approximately 40–50ml of warm water.
3. Whisk until completely smooth.
4. Add steamed milk for a hot latte or cold milk and ice for an iced latte.
5. Sweeten according to preference.
6. Serve immediately.

For a café environment, Matsukaze can be particularly useful because the 300g can provides a much larger working quantity than a small retail tin.

Iced Matcha Latte

Matsukaze is also suitable for refreshing iced matcha drinks.

Suggested Recipe

• 3g Matsukaze
• 40ml warm water
• 150ml cold milk
• Ice
• Sweetener, optional

Whisk the matcha with warm water first rather than adding powder directly to cold milk.

This helps create a smoother drink with fewer clumps.

Pour the prepared matcha over cold milk and ice for a layered iced matcha latte.

Matcha for Café Menus

The 300g can makes Matsukaze particularly relevant for cafés and food-service applications.

Yamamasa Koyamaen states that its matcha is used by home users, Japanese and Western confectionery shops, hotels, restaurants, cafés, and food manufacturers.

For a café, Matsukaze can be incorporated into:

• Matcha lattes
• Iced matcha
• Matcha lemonades
• Matcha soda
• Matcha frappes
• Matcha smoothies
• Matcha cream drinks
• Matcha desserts
• Matcha ice cream
• Matcha affogato
• Matcha pastries

The producer itself has published recipes using Matsukaze for drinks and desserts, including matcha soda and matcha affogato.

Matsukaze for Desserts & Culinary Use

Although Matsukaze is not officially labeled by Yamamasa Koyamaen simply as “culinary grade,” the producer explicitly includes it among its matcha suitable for drinks and foods.

This makes Matsukaze suitable for customers who want to experiment with matcha beyond drinking.

Matcha Ice Cream

Mix Matsukaze into your ice cream base to add a distinct Japanese green tea flavor.

Matcha Cream

Matsukaze can be incorporated into whipped cream, pastry cream, or other dessert fillings.

Matcha Affogato

Yamamasa Koyamaen provides a matcha affogato recipe using matcha such as Matsukaze, with approximately 4g matcha prepared with hot water and poured over ice cream.

Matcha Soda

For a refreshing drink, Yamamasa Koyamaen also provides a matcha soda recipe using Matsukaze among the recommended matcha choices.

Matsukaze for Traditional Usucha

Despite its versatility for drinks and food, Matsukaze is not limited to modern recipes.

It can also be prepared as usucha, or thin tea.

Suggested Usucha Preparation

• 2g Matsukaze
• Approximately 60–70ml warm water
• Water around 70–80°C / 158–176°F

How to Prepare

1. Warm the matcha bowl and whisk.
2. Sift approximately 2g of Matsukaze into the bowl.
3. Add warm water.
4. Whisk briskly until smooth and lightly foamy.
5. Enjoy immediately.

For customers purchasing Matsukaze primarily for culinary applications, trying a traditional bowl can also be a useful way to understand the matcha's natural character before adding it to milk or recipes.

How Many Servings Are in a 300g Can?

The number of servings depends on how much matcha you use per drink.

Traditional Usucha

At approximately 2g per serving: 300g ÷ 2g = approximately 150 servings

Matcha Latte

At approximately 3g per drink: 300g ÷ 3g = approximately 100 drinks

At approximately 4g per drink: 300g ÷ 4g = approximately 75 drinks

This makes the 300g can particularly attractive for frequent users and café-style applications.

Why Choose the 300g Can?

The 300g can is not simply a larger retail package; it is a format designed for customers who use matcha regularly.

Yamamasa Koyamaen offers several matcha package sizes, including 30g cans, 100g packages, 150g cans, 300g cans, 500g packages, and 1kg packages depending on the product. The producer recommends choosing a package size appropriate to your consumption frequency because prolonged storage after opening can reduce matcha quality.

300g Is Best For:

• Matcha cafés
• Restaurants
• Bakeries
• Dessert shops
• Frequent home users
• Matcha latte enthusiasts
• Food-service applications
• Customers who already know and enjoy Matsukaze

300g May Be Too Large If:

• You rarely drink matcha.
• You are trying Matsukaze for the first time.
• You only prepare matcha occasionally.
• You prefer opening smaller quantities to maximize freshness.

If you are new to Matsukaze, consider starting with a smaller size before committing to 300g.

Is Matsukaze Ceremonial Grade?

“Ceremonial grade” is not a standardized official Japanese grading system.

Yamamasa Koyamaen instead categorizes its matcha according to product type, intended use, and specific tea selections.

Matsukaze appears in the producer's lineup of matcha suitable for drinks and foods, while the producer separately identifies matcha intended for cooking applications.

Therefore, for Kisshomori, the most accurate positioning is: Premium Japanese Matcha for Drinks & Culinary Use

rather than making “ceremonial grade” the primary product classification.

Is Matsukaze Culinary Grade?

Matsukaze is suitable for culinary applications, but it is more accurate to describe it as matcha suitable for drinks and foods based on Yamamasa Koyamaen's own product classification.

The producer specifically recommends matcha as an ingredient for drinks, foods, ice cream, creams, and other applications where matcha flavor can differentiate a product.

This makes Matsukaze a strong choice for:

• Drinks 
• Matcha Lattes 
• Desserts 
• Ice Cream 
• Matcha Cream 
• Traditional Usucha 

Who Should Buy Matsukaze 300g?

Yamamasa Koyamaen Matsukaze 300g is ideal for:

• Matcha cafés
• Restaurants
• Bakeries
• Dessert businesses
• Home bakers
• Frequent matcha latte drinkers
• Matcha enthusiasts
• Customers making matcha desserts
• Customers looking for a large-format Japanese matcha
• Customers who already enjoy Matsukaze

If you are looking for one matcha that can move between traditional tea, lattes, drinks, and desserts, Matsukaze is a highly practical choice.

How to Store Matsukaze Matcha

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

To preserve the best possible quality:

• Keep the can tightly sealed.
• Store in a cool and dry place.
• Keep away from direct sunlight.
• Avoid exposure to heat and humidity.
• Use clean, dry utensils.
• Minimize unnecessary exposure to air.
• Avoid storing near strongly scented foods.

Because the 300g format contains a substantial amount of matcha, storage becomes especially important.

Yamamasa Koyamaen specifically advises customers to choose a package size according to their usage frequency because long storage after opening can lead to deterioration in quality.
