UJI CLASSIC

ASAHI is one of Kyoto’s most celebrated matcha cultivars, prized for its creamy umami, refined sweetness, and quiet complexity in the Uji region.

Through traditional shading and meticulous craftsmanship, it develops a smooth, layered umami that unfolds gently across the palate.

Rather than sharp intensity, ASAHI expresses its depth through a creamy, rounded character, with mellow sweetness and a soft, graceful finish.

100% In House

100% In House

ASAHI is one of Uji’s most celebrated traditional cultivars.

Its signature is a deep, creamy umami—rich in depth, yet remarkably smooth and refined.

To bring out this distinctive character at its highest expression, Hiroaki Hasegawa and his family oversee every step in-house—from soil-making and cultivation to tea refining and stone milling.

Every step serves one purpose:

to create the fullest, creamiest expression of umami possible.

Through six generations of craftsmanship, the family has refined every detail around this pursuit, bringing out the distinctive depth, smoothness, and creamy umami of ASAHI.

Beyond Ceremonial Grade
Journey #1 MATCHA

Beyond Ceremonial Grade

There's no standard for "ceremonial" matcha — any matcha can wear the name.

Taste a matcha worth stopping for — one we searched out and chose for your moment of stillness.

THE FIRST PAUSE

After countless tastings, a question emerged.

Why is most matcha blended?

I began exploring single-cultivar matcha.

Each cultivar carried its own character.

And even within the same cultivar,

the expression changed from farm to farm.

SEEING DIFFERENTLY

That curiosity led me to the farmers.

As I visited farms across Kyoto,

listened to their stories, and experienced their craft firsthand,

I began to see matcha differently.

And in that shift,

I realized something simple:

awareness itself was the essence.

STILLNESS IN A BOWL

Tea begins with a pause.

The sound of water, the movement of the whisk,

the first sip—

these small moments slowly quiet the mind.

And when the noise fades,

we begin to notice the richness already present in everyday life.

This experience itself becomes ceremonial.
