JAS-certified Uji matcha with deep umami for koicha

Matcha Kāru Hitotsu Uji-Edition is a 30 g JAS-certified organic matcha from Uji, Japan. This special edition comes from the first harvest and uses tea shaded for more than 30 days. Its profile combines a creamy, full body with complex aromas, fine sweetness, a buttery note, deep umami, and a long-lasting, soft finish. The rounded character also makes it suitable for koicha, the thick preparation of matcha.

What does Hitotsu Uji-Edition taste like?

Hitotsu centers on sweetness, creaminess, and full umami. A light buttery note sits alongside the tea’s deeper umami character, while the finish remains soft and persistent. The result is a rounded profile without a bitter edge.

The product’s main sensory qualities are:

  • Taste: fine sweetness, a light buttery note, and deep umami
  • Body: creamy and full
  • Aroma: complex and multifaceted
  • Finish: soft and long-lasting

What distinguishes this matcha from Uji?

The Hitotsu Uji-Edition comes from Uji, one of Japan’s established tea-producing regions. It is made from the first harvest and is fully shaded for more than 30 days before harvest. The matcha carries JAS certification and is organic.

These production details accompany a profile built around full body, sweetness, and pronounced umami. The 30 g format is presented as a special Uji edition within the Matcha Kāru range.

Can Hitotsu be prepared as koicha?

Yes. Its sweet, creamy, and rounded character is suitable for koicha, a thick style of matcha. Koicha uses a denser consistency than the more fluid preparation commonly associated with matcha, placing greater emphasis on the powder’s body and concentrated taste.

Hitotsu’s full body, deep umami, buttery note, and fine sweetness align directly with that intended use. It can therefore be selected specifically for buyers seeking a Uji matcha that supports thick preparation rather than only a lighter cup. The product is supplied as a 30 g edition.
