Matcha Shot / StraightWater
alone reveals the three-layer aroma structure and the individual character of each cultivar in its purest form. Serve at 60–70°C to open Asanoka's fruity top notes first. As the cup cools, deeper layers emerge in quiet succession. The format that tells the story of four cultivars most honestly.

Iced Matcha Americano

Place 2g of matcha into a tea bowl.
Pour 30ml of hot water at 70°C (158°F) and whisk until frothy.
Pour into a glass filled with ice.
Add 100–120ml of cold water and stir gently.

Brewing Guide

For extra sweetness and umami, whisk with water below 60°C (140°F). Lower temperature reveals a smoother, gentler flavor.
