Saemidori

Saemidori by SHUHARI KYOTO – First Harvest Uji-Grown Matcha

Vibrant, smooth, and delightfully nuanced—Saemidori by SHUHARI KYOTO is a first-harvest Japanese matcha powder that invites you to elevate your daily ritual with grace and intention. Grown in the lush terroir of Uji, Kyoto—Japan’s historic heart of matcha cultivation—this single-origin Saemidori cultivar is celebrated for its naturally mellow profile and vivid green hue.

From the moment you open the tin, you'll be greeted by a fresh, vegetal aroma with floral undertones. Whisked into usucha or koicha, it unfolds into a rich, creamy texture with a soft umami base, gentle natural sweetness, and a delicate absence of bitterness—making it ideal for those who enjoy a refined and soothing matcha experience. Whether you’re creating a mindful moment with a traditional bowl or crafting a velvety iced latte, Saemidori adds elegance and depth to every sip.

What sets Saemidori apart is its cultivar purity and meticulous stone-milling process, preserving its brilliant color and silken mouthfeel. This is matcha for those who savor beauty in simplicity—and value the craftsmanship behind every cup.

Available now at Ujicha Matcha, Saemidori is your invitation to slow down, center yourself, and connect with an ancient Japanese tradition—reimagined for your modern lifestyle.
