御濃茶　松風昔

This was my first matcha that had a stronger umami flavor to it and I absolutely loved it. I finished my 20g far too quickly and will be reordering once it is in stock again.

Nice color but gritty texture. As an usucha it has a low but lingering bitterness with light umami notes and a slightly nutty finish. As a koicha it has the same type of bitterness, more noticeable -but still mild- umami notes and a slight toasty flavor. It has low astringency, almost unnoticeable if you don´t pay close attention. As a latte it had a mellow grassy taste with no umami nor bitterness; I didn´t notice any nutty nor toasty notes. When prepared with 80°C water its bitterness reminded me to that of burnt toast; when using 85°C water its bitterness seemed like that of 80% dark chocolate. This matcha is definitely full-bodied, but it has a very short finish, which left me hanging for more with every sip. Its low but lingering bitterness may be a downside for some people. If you don´t enjoy some bitterness in your matcha this may not be for you. It is a solid option for a daily usucha, but it´s not really up there in terms of koicha. Personally it´s not a bad matcha, but neither a memorable one.

it's so good as a latte- not too light at all. i liked it as a koicha and it was also good as an usucha although slightly bitter but not too unpleasantly so. the description is quite accurate, although i didn't get a bunch of umami really (or maybe i just don't know how to notice it), but i still really liked it. this matcha might also become a daily matcha for me 👍

I absolutely love how rich this is! it is perfect for lattes. The umami is so good and there was no astringency! I ordered the 20g can and finished it so I ordered the 100g can right away!
