十六 JU-ROKU (16) is where depth meets elegance in a single bowl.

First flush tea leaves grown in Kirishima's volcanic soil are carefully hand-harvested and masterfully stone-milled to perfection.

Each sip unfolds layers of soft white chocolate sweetness, rich nori-like umami, and delicate berry notes. Brewed at lower temperatures, it reveals a gentle sweetness. Warmer temperatures draw out a refined bitterness and depth.

Born out of connection and close bonds—a family encounter, a prayer at Kirishima Shrine, and an invitation to an organic tea farm—十六 is a chosen bowl, shaped by trust, devotion, and craft.

Its rich, smooth texture, aroma, and story linger long after, like a quiet scene in a film that stays with you.

Terroir & Tasting notes

Matcha Terroir

ORIGIN · 土地
— volcanic soil / depth / umami / luminous green

Grown in the misty highlands of Kirishima, the tea plants flourish in mineral-rich volcanic soil. Morning fog veils the fields, preserving their vivid green hue. Sharp temperature shifts and abundant rainfall cultivate sweetness, depth, and balanced bitterness. From fertile kuroboku soil and cool mountain air, a pure and alive matcha is born.

CULTIVAR · 品種
— Asahi / Kirari / Saemidori

十六 is a single-origin blend that unites three cultivars from Kirishima. Each builds upon the other, creating complexity in balance.

  • Asahi offers refined umami and soft sweetness with minimal bitterness
  • Kirari adds a smooth mellowness for balance
  • Saemidori imparts floral fragrance and brightness

ROASTING · 火入れ
— gentle roasting / polish / clarity / craftsmanship

Lightly roasted and blended by master artisans to bring forth sweetness, clarity, and balance in every bowl.

Tasting Notes

White chocolate and fresh mist open with a melting softness, layered with nori-like umami and the cool breath of young buds, and settle into a crystalline resonance that lingers like distant ridges at dawn.
Top : White chocolate & fresh mist — delicate, luminous, immediately enveloping
Mid : Nori-like umami & new-shoot sweetness — Kirishima earth shaped by Asahi precision
Finish : Crystalline resonance — clear, elevated, echoing long into stillness
