KYOHAYASHIYA Shoshin is a first-harvest, stone-milled ceremonial matcha from Kyoto Uji, delivered as a fine 30g powder for traditional tea ceremony and premium culinary use.
Harvested in the Uji region of Kyoto and stone-milled into a velvety powder, this KYOHAYASHIYA Shoshin matcha captures the early-season sweetness and vivid green color prized in ceremonial-grade teas. Packaged in a compact 30g tin, it offers a concentrated serving size ideal for preparing authentic whisked tea, enriching lattes, baking, or finishing dishes with an umami-rich green tea profile. The product lists only 100% Japanese green tea with no allergens, and its small dimensions make it simple to store or gift.
What makes Shoshin ceremonial matcha different from culinary grades?
Shoshin is from the first harvest, when leaves are youngest and most delicate, and it is stone-milled to a fine texture suited for whisking into a smooth, frothy tea. It emphasizes green sweetness and subtle umami rather than strong bitterness, which is typical of lower grades.
- First-harvest leaves for brighter flavor and color.
- Stone milling preserves aroma and yields a tender powder.
- Ceremonial grade prioritizes whisking and drinking purity over cooking uses.
- Pure ingredient list: 100% Japanese green tea, allergen-free.
How should I prepare KYOHAYASHIYA Shoshin for a proper whisked tea?
Use finely filtered hot water (around 70–80°C / 158–176°F) and a bamboo whisk to suspend the powder and develop a light froth. Start with about 1–2 grams of matcha per 60–80 ml of water, whisking briskly in a W or M motion until smooth and foamy.
- Measure roughly 1–2g (a small teaspoon) per serving.
- Water temperature: 70–80°C for best sweetness and aroma.
- Whisk 15–30 seconds for a creamy froth using a chasen.
- Enjoy immediately to preserve aroma and color.
Can this matcha be used for drinks and cooking?
Yes—while Shoshin is crafted for drinking, its fine texture and concentrated flavor also make it suitable for premium lattes, smoothies, desserts, and confections. In culinary applications, start with smaller quantities since ceremonial matcha delivers a more pronounced, refined green-tea character than common cooking grades.
- Ideal for lattes: dissolve in a small amount of warm water first.
- Use sparingly in baking to retain its nuanced flavor and color.
- Great for cold beverages when sifted and blended for uniformity.
- Enhances sauces, creams, and frozen treats with authentic matcha notes.
How should I store this 30g tin to keep it fresh?
Keep the matcha in a cool, dark place and reseal the tin after each use to limit air exposure and preserve vibrancy. Avoid strong odors nearby, and consider refrigerating the tin for longer-term storage, returning it to room temperature before opening to prevent condensation.
- Store sealed in a cool, dry, dark spot away from sunlight.
- Refrigerate for extended freshness; avoid repeated temperature swings.
- Use within weeks after opening for peak aroma and color.
- Keep away from strong-smelling foods or spices to avoid absorption.
Who is this for? KYOHAYASHIYA Shoshin Matcha suits tea enthusiasts who want an authentic ceremonial experience from Kyoto Uji in a compact portion.
