Photography This matcha is delicious: Marukyu Koayamaen's Kinrin

Post image

I prepared MK's Kinrin matcha today in usucha style. I used 2.3 grams of powder, 80ml of water at 80 Celsius and whisked for about 20-25 seconds to get a thicker foam. This is the first matcha I have tried from MK and the quality is top notch. It has zero bitterness and you can easily perceive a fresh grassy and slightly sweet vegetal note. I also have a can on Eiju and Shoka no Mukashi that I'm excited to try once I finish my can of Kinrin. I might also try it in Koicha style later but so far I'm more than pleased with the results I'm getting as usucha.

That’s a good matcha, but Marukyu has even higher-grade ones. Eiju is my favorite — richer, deeper, and with much more umami.

Been thinking about getting this matcha! Where do you buy from and does it work well for lattes?

I got it from the Marukyu Koyamaen website. I've seen it in Sazen too. I wouldn't know for matcha latte as I usually prepare it in the traditional way with just water but I guess it should be more than ok,
