really pretty everyday matcha. easy to whisk, gentle flavor and doesnt leave that bitter taste some matchas do.

E

first time trying Chigi no Shiro and im impressed. tastes fresh, silky and naturally sweet without being too mild.

this one feels very balanced. subtle umami, smooth mouthfeel and a clean finish. perfect for slower mornings tbh.

def more of an usucha matcha. very soft and refined, slight astringency but nothing sharp. would order again.
