Best Ways to Enjoy Ogurayama

Traditional Usucha – Recommended

The best way to experience the aroma and character of Ogurayama is as traditional usucha (thin tea).

Recommended preparation:

• 1.5–2g Ogurayama Matcha
• Approximately 70ml water
• Water temperature: around 80°C / 176°F

Warm your matcha bowl and bamboo whisk with hot water, then dry the bowl thoroughly.

Sift the matcha into the bowl to help prevent clumping.

Add approximately 70ml of water at around 80°C and whisk briskly in an “M” or “W” motion for approximately 15 seconds until a fine layer of foam develops.

Enjoy immediately while its aroma is at its most expressive.

Premium Matcha Latte

Although Ogurayama is particularly well suited to traditional usucha, it can also create a premium matcha latte.

Recommended preparation:

• 3–4g Ogurayama Matcha
• 40–50ml warm water
• 150–180ml milk or plant-based alternative
• Sweetener, optional

Whisk the matcha with warm water until smooth, then add steamed milk or pour over cold milk and ice.

Because Ogurayama is a higher-quality drinking matcha, using it in a latte creates a more refined tea character than standard latte-focused matcha.

Who Should Choose Ogurayama 100g?

Yamamasa Koyamaen Ogurayama is particularly suitable for:

• Traditional matcha drinkers
• Usucha enthusiasts
• Daily matcha drinkers looking for an upgrade
• Yamamasa Koyamaen fans
• Japanese tea enthusiasts
• Customers who prioritize aroma
• Customers moving beyond beginner matcha
• Premium matcha latte drinkers
• Households that consume matcha frequently
• Customers looking for a larger 100g matcha pouch

Using approximately 2g per bowl, a 100g pouch provides around 50 servings.

Using Yamamasa Koyamaen's approximately 1.5g traditional preparation, it can provide around 65 servings.
