Genmaicha with Matcha 100g Bag from Nakamura Tokichi Honten is a Japanese leaf tea built on two familiar components, roasted brown rice and large sencha leaves, with a small amount of matcha added to the blend. The rice and leaf together give the tea a subtle texture and taste, while the added matcha contributes extra flavor and a green appearance in the dry leaf and the cup. Sold as a 100g bag under the SKU BP3-100.
What does genmaicha with matcha taste like?
The balance comes from the two sides of the blend working against each other. Matcha brings sweetness, and the sencha brings a slight bitterness along with a touch of acidity. Neither side dominates, so the result reads as well balanced rather than sharply sweet or sharply astringent. The overall character is restrained instead of assertive, which is what the source description means by a subtle taste.
Why roasted brown rice and large sencha leaves are used
Genmaicha is defined by roasted brown rice blended with green tea leaf. Here the tea component is large sencha leaves, and the rice sits alongside it rather than replacing it. That pairing is what produces the subtle texture and taste of the blend. The matcha is present in a small amount only, so it acts as an accent to the sencha and rice base, adding flavor and the green color that separates this version from plain genmaicha.

Who this blend suits
This is a good fit if you want a green tea with a gentle profile rather than a concentrated one, and if the sweet-and-slightly-bitter balance of matcha against sencha appeals to you more than a single-note cup. The 100g format and the six-month expiration date suit steady everyday drinking rather than long storage, so plan to work through the bag within that window. Buyers looking for straight matcha to whisk should note that the matcha here is a blended accent in a leaf tea, not the main ingredient.
