A handy, large package for fully savouring matcha on a daily basis.
This 100g bag has a sealable closure, a wide opening for easy scooping, and a simple open-and-use design. Choose this size for convenient everyday matcha use, and for preparing a lot of matcha at once for a group.
How does it taste?
A refined taste with just the right amount of richness. Each sip includes complex flavours, such as the slight bitterness of spring vegetables.
How/when to enjoy it?
It’s great for waking you up in the morning, or for drinking espresso-style after a meal, prepared on the thick side. It’s also good for keeping you sharp and focused.
What to enjoy it with?
Bitter chocolate or candied orange peels.
How do Ippodo staff enjoy it?
I bring it out when I invite friends over and want to do my very best to entertain them. Preparing it using the Tea Bowl with Serving Spout to make three servings at once, I offer it as a welcome drink, or mix it with milk to serve as matcha latte. That alone makes for a special teatime.

I first tried Sayaka-no-mukashi from Amazon. Absolutely loved it, so I decided to order directly from Ippodo. Everything arrived quickly. I noticed drinking iced matcha or iced matcha lattes tends to make umami and more bitter flavors very obvious, so this sweet grassy matcha is perfect. Definitely doesn't need any sweetener added. I drink matcha 3-6 times per week and this lasted me just under 3 months - a little bit goes a long way. I can no longer order matcha from cafes now that I've gotten used to this beautiful one.
