Marukyu Koyamaen Matcha for Food – Ayame is a premium culinary grade matcha crafted in Uji, Kyoto by the renowned tea producers of Marukyu Koyamaen, whose history spans over three centuries. Specially milled for culinary use, Ayame offers a vibrant green color, smooth texture and slight bitterness—perfect for enhancing both flavour and appearance in food applications.

Its rich aroma and refined taste make it ideal for pastries, confectionery, ice cream, smoothies, and innovative savory dishes. The fine powder ensures seamless blending into batters, creams, and doughs, delivering a natural green hue and authentic Japanese matcha flavor without overpowering other ingredients.

Whether used in artisanal baking, premium desserts, or gourmet creations, Ayame brings a touch of Japanese tradition and sophistication to your kitchen.

Important Notice: From October 2025, Marukyu Koyamaen will no longer produce culinary-grade matcha due to a shortage of matcha supply. This makes Ayame an even rarer and more sought. Limited availability
