Yamamasa Koyamaen Shikibu no Mukashi – Elegant, Umami-Balanced Ceremonial Matcha from Uji, Kyoto

Shikibu no Mukashi (式部の昔) is a refined ceremonial-grade matcha produced by Yamamasa Koyamaen, a respected Uji tea house known for its traditional matcha craftsmanship. This matcha offers a harmonious balance of umami, sweetness, and smooth green depth, making it well-suited for classic tea preparation.

When whisked, Shikibu no Mukashi produces a vivid green cup with a calm, refined aroma. The flavor is smooth and well-rounded, featuring gentle vegetal notes, medium umami, and a soft natural sweetness. Bitterness is restrained and integrated, allowing the tea to feel composed rather than sharp. Its balanced profile makes it ideal for usucha (thin tea) and approachable for a wide range of matcha drinkers.

This matcha is well suited for those who enjoy a traditional Uji style that emphasizes elegance and balance rather than extreme intensity.
