Matcha Blend for Usucha and High-End Mix Drinks, recommended for beginners and daily drinking. This is the baseline quality Matcha of our Marukyu Koyamaen line-up.
Soju is a light and creamy Usucha without any astringent or bitter notes, with a light and sweet finish. It is very easy to whisk up a very enjoyable Matcha with Soju as its rather forgiving in respect to temperature.
For a thick micro-foam we recommend a ratio of 1:20 (or 1:25) at 80°C.
All our Matcha is freshly milled by order and is stored at 2°C once it arrives in Germany.
If you are not sure which of the grades suits your way of drinking Matcha, our guide compares every Marukyu Koyamaen grade, from the daily Usucha to the Koicha grades, and explains which one we would choose for lattes.
FAQ
| Is UNEARTHED an authorized retailer? | UNEARTHED is an "Authorized Wholesale Retailer of Marukyu Koyamaen". If you ever want to verify the authenticity of Marukyu Koyamaen products, you can contact Marukyu Koyamaen directly at info@marukyu-koyamaen.co.jp. |
| How do I read the best-before date on the tin? | Marukyu Koyamaen prints it in the Japanese format YY.MM.DD (year.month.day). A tin marked 27.02.05 is best before 5 February 2027. |
| When was this Matcha milled? | The milling date is around 6 months before the best-before date: the current batch was milled in late July 2026. The sealed tins are nitrogen-flushed before shipping, so the Matcha stays extremely fresh until the tin is opened. |
| How is the Matcha milled? | All Marukyu Koyamaen Matcha is stone-milled in-house on granite mills (ishi-usu): a single mill yields only around 40 g per hour. In our experience, their milling quality and consistency are among the best on the market: built on long experience, technology leadership, and in-house resources few other producers can match. |
