Yukawa no Shiro

Yukawa no Shiro by Nakamura Tokichi – A Pure Expression of Uji Elegance

Discover Yukawa no Shiro, a ceremonial-grade matcha from the historic tea fields of Uji, Kyoto—now available at Ujicha Matcha. Crafted by the renowned house of Nakamura Tokichi, this matcha invites you into a moment of calm with every sip—a daily ritual of beauty, wellness, and heritage.

Handpicked during the first harvest, Yukawa no Shiro is made from the youngest, most tender tea leaves, shade-grown to deepen their natural sweetness and umami. The result is a remarkably smooth, almost ethereal matcha with delicate notes of fresh cream, mellow umami, and a whisper of natural sweetness, rounded by a soft, vegetal aroma. Any bitterness is gracefully minimal, allowing the subtleties of the tea to shine through.

Whether whisked traditionally as usucha, enjoyed in a meditative koicha ceremony, or gently blended into your morning oat milk latte, this matcha elevates your routine with its refined profile and vibrant emerald hue. It is not intended for culinary use—Yukawa no Shiro is meant to be savored.

From its elegant tin to the story held in every sip, Yukawa no Shiro is more than a matcha—it's a beautiful pause in your day.
