Kanbayashi Shunsho Matcha - Mikazuki no Shiro Ceremonial Grade Matcha Powder
Kanbayashi Shunsho Matcha – Mikazuki no Shiro (三日月の白)
Ceremonial-Grade Japanese Matcha Powder - 20 g & 40 g tins
Mikazuki no Shiro, meaning “Crescent Moon White”, is a delicate ceremonial matcha from the esteemed Uji tea masters at Kanbayashi Shunsho. This blend evokes the soft radiance and tranquility of a crescent moon over a timeless castle, merging poetic beauty with refined flavour.
Flavour Profile

- Clean and luminous finish - soft, serene, and unforgettable on the palate

- Finely stone-milled to create a soft, velvety texture and delicate froth - perfect for ceremonial usucha or contemplative tea moments

- Ideal for moments of mindful sipping, ceremonial rituals, or serene morning rituals that embrace calmness and clarity
Perfect For
- Traditional usucha (thin tea) preparations with delicate grace
