Kanbayashi Shunsho Matcha - Hatsune no Mukashi Ceremonial Grade Matcha Powder

Kanbayashi Shunsho Matcha – Hatsune no Mukashi

Ceremonial Grade Japanese Matcha Powder

Hatsune no Mukashi (初音の昔), translating to "First Sound of Spring," is a distinguished ceremonial-grade matcha crafted by Kanbayashi Shunsho, a venerable tea producer from Uji, Kyoto, with a legacy spanning over 450 years. This matcha is esteemed within the Sōhen-ryū school of tea, personally selected by its grand master, Yūyūsai Sōshō, for formal tea gatherings. 

Flavour Profile

Hatsune no Mukashi offers a deep and rounded umami flavour, complemented by refined sweetness and a smooth, lingering finish with minimal bitterness. Its elegant richness and vivid green colour make it particularly suitable for koicha (thick tea), providing a contemplative and refined tea experience.

Aroma & Texture

This matcha exudes a fresh and pleasant aroma, which, upon whisking, transforms into a more pronounced fragrance with hints of fresh grass and a touch of nuttiness. Its silky texture is achieved through traditional stone milling, ensuring a smooth and frothy brew.

Versatile Applications

While traditionally prepared as koicha, Hatsune no Mukashi's balanced flavour profile also makes it suitable for usucha (thin tea) and matcha lattes, where its bold flavour holds its own beautifully when combined with milk.
