Tatsu Mukashi
Ippodo’s New Year’s Matcha for 2024, Tatsu Mukashi has fantastic umami and sweetness with practically no bitterness. It can be enjoyed as both usucha and koicha to experience its deep fragrance, pure umami, and full-bodied aftertaste.
This matcha is seasonal, and once it has sold out it will not be restocked!
How to Make Perfect Matcha:
We recommend you use not quite boiling water, around 80°C works well.
If you are using a chashaku (a Japanese bamboo teaspoon) we recommend 2 scoops, or 1 scoop from an ordinary teaspoon (approx. 1.5g)
-
Add 2 scoops of matcha powder to your tea bowl or cup.
-
Pour around 70ml of not quite boiling water into the tea bowl.
-
Whisk the matcha with a chasen (Japanese bamboo whisk) or a small whisk, for about 15 seconds until smooth.
-
Relax and enjoy!
