Ippodo Ikuyo – Clean, Refreshing Uji Matcha with Light Umami and Crisp Finish

Ippodo Ikuyo is a Japanese matcha produced by Ippodo Tea in Uji, Kyoto. Known for its clarity and freshness, Ikuyo is crafted to deliver a bright, approachable cup that highlights the clean character of Uji matcha without heaviness.

When whisked, Ikuyo releases a fresh green aroma with subtle grassy notes. The flavor is light and refreshing, featuring gentle umami, mild natural sweetness, and a touch of pleasant briskness. Bitterness is low and well controlled, giving the tea a crisp, clean finish that makes it especially easy to drink.

Ikuyo is well suited for usucha (thin tea) and for those who prefer a lighter, more refreshing matcha. Its clean profile also makes it a versatile option for everyday matcha preparation.
