Kanbayashi Shunsho - Biwa no Shiro
Kanbayashi Shunsho - Biwa no Shiro
Description
Biwa no Shiro (琵琶の白) is a premium, mid-tier ceremonial-grade usucha from Kanbayashi Shunsho, one of Uji’s oldest tea houses with over 450 years of tea-making heritage. Named after the historic Biwa garden established by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, this richly nutty matcha delivers a sweet milk-caramel aroma, silky texture, and complex flavor layers ideal for daily elegance in usucha or creamy lattes.
About this item:
- Sweet Caramel & Nutty Aroma: Inviting fragrance of milk caramel transitioning to macadamia and cashew depth on the palate.
- Silky & Pampering Mouthfeel: Smooth, almost decadent texture with no bitterness—purely luxurious.
- Layered Complexity: Warm roasted cacao nibs and milk chocolate segue into vegetal tones, finishing clean with natural sweetness.
- Mellow & Umami-Rich: Richer in umami than the slightly bolder Usucha Mozumukashi, but equally smooth.
- 100% Uji-Grown Tradition: Shade-grown, stone-milled, and packaged in Uji, Kyoto by the Kanbayashi family’s 15th generation.
- Three Packaging Sizes: 20 g box, 40 g box, and 100 g bag—perfect for samples, daily use, or gift-worthy presentation.
