Yomo-no-Kaori (四方の薫) is a refined ceremonial-grade matcha produced by Yamamasa Koyamaen, a long-established Uji tea producer known for elegant, well-balanced matcha. True to its name, which translates to “fragrance from all directions,” this matcha emphasizes aroma and harmony, offering a smooth, composed drinking experience.
When whisked, Yomo-no-Kaori reveals a soft, fresh green aroma and a clean, vibrant appearance. The flavor is balanced and approachable, featuring gentle umami, mild natural sweetness, and low bitterness. The profile is neither overly intense nor sharp, making it well suited for usucha (thin tea) and for drinkers who value fragrance, smoothness, and clarity in their matcha.
This matcha is ideal for daily ceremonial use, calm tea moments, or for those exploring classic Uji-style matcha with an emphasis on aroma and balance.
