Chokyo no Shiro

Gion Tsujiri is one of my favorite brands. I tried it first as an usucha, and I found it to be naturally sweet and creamy, with light umami notes and some hints of grassiness. It has no astringency and bitterness. I was really impressed by its profile, great for usucha. I then tried it as a latte next, using less syrup. The matcha and oat milk complimented each other perfectly. This matcha reminds me of Ippodo Sayaka, although creamier. I think this is a great alternative.
