Matcha: Ippodo Sansho-no-shiro (formerly Tancho-no-mukashi) High Quality Koicha or Usucha, 20g Can

For those who prefer a slightly lighter taste, Sansho-no-shiro (formerly named Tancho-no-mukashi) is a good choice. With a touch of astringency and enough umami to satisfy even the most ardent matcha aficionado, Sansho-no-shiro is a high quality matcha that can also be used to make usucha. This matcha was renamed by Yuyusai-Sosho XV, the great grand master of the Omote-Senke family of tea masters. This grade of matcha is the same as that used for Kan-no-shiro.
