Kouku no Shiro

Kouku no Shiro by Kanbayashi Shunsho

An air of grace, a matcha of quiet distinction.

Named Kouku no Shiro (“Castle in the Sky”), this elegant ceremonial-grade matcha from Kyoto’s historic Kanbayashi Shunsho tea house invites you to pause, breathe, and savor a moment of elevation.

Delicate yet structured, Kouku no Shiro offers a refined umami layered with subtle sweetness and a beautifully smooth, clean finish. Its vibrant green color and silky froth reflect the precision of its craftsmanship — made from shade-grown tencha leaves and carefully stone-milled to preserve both flavor and fragrance.

This matcha is ideal for those who appreciate light, graceful profiles with clarity and balance. Whether whisked for a quiet usucha or savored as part of your daily ritual, Kouku no Shiro offers a peaceful, uplifting experience in every sip.

Why you’ll love it:

• Ceremonial-grade matcha with a soft, elegant flavor
• Delicate umami, light sweetness, and minimal bitterness
• Stone-ground from carefully selected Uji-grown leaves
• Crafted by Kanbayashi Shunsho, a centuries-old Kyoto tea house
