Matcha Onkō
Ceremonial matcha (usucha grade) from Maruyasu
Matcha Onko shines as an usucha. It is a light-bodied, sweet matcha with no trace of bitterness. Mellow and harmonious, it offers subtle complexity. It opens with fresh, verdant notes that gently give way to delicate floral undertones. In the finish, there are mild custard-cream and vanilla aromas which leave a pleasant mouthfeel.
Onko is easy to like - a safe choice for both experienced tea lovers and those who just started exploring matcha.
We recommend drinking this delicious tea straight, not as a latte.
The meaning of Onkō "恩光":
The word 恩光 (Onkō) is composed of two kanji: on "恩" which means grace, kindness, benevolence, or gratitude and kō "光" which means light and radiance.
Maruyasu was established in 1872 and has since become a renowned tea manufacturer. Its representative, Yasushi Maeno, holds the prestigious title of "chashi kyudo," one of the highest qualifications for tea specialists in Japan.

How to prepare
As Usucha:
STEP 1) Put 2g (0.4 US tsp, 1 teaspoon or 2 chashaku scoops) matcha powder into a suitable tea bowl.
STEP 2) Pour 75 ml (2.53 fl oz) of 90℃ (194°F) water over the matcha powder.
STEP 3) Whisk with a chasen (tea whisk) until foamy.
Freshness is the most important thing for the enjoyment of Matcha. Drink it fast, before it cools.
❖ Before Step 1, warm up the tea bowl with hot water, then dry it with a cloth to create the perfect temperature so make the most delicious matcha with a fresh scent while preparing. (Optional)
❖ To prevent clotting of the matcha powder, sift it through a fine strainer before use. (Strongly recommended)
❖ After the matcha is done, drink it immediately, because as it cools down it gets more and more bitter. (Recommended)
❖ Freshness is the most important thing for the enjoyment of Matcha. It is best to use up the tea within one month of opening. (Strongly recommended)

When you hear the name Maruyasu, you expect matchas that hit a certain standard. And let me tell you: this one Matcha Onko is exactly that level. It’s full-bodied, creamy, silky. Right from the first sip, you taste richness and depth. The description promises “no bitterness,” and for the most part, that’s true. Onko glides smooth, lush, with sweetness and a clean umami finish that makes you want to pause and just enjoy the moment. Now, the very last sip in my chawan. You know, that concentrated bit at the bottom carried a faint touch of bitterness. But honestly? That little kick didn’t take away from the experience; it added to it. It was like the tea leaving a final exclamation point, a reminder that matcha has layers and character. I loved it. Onko feels like a keeper: approachable, elegant, and still with enough personality to make you think about it after the bowl is empty. Definitely one I’ll reorder.
