Why Shimane’s Matcha Is Special

KAGURA is grown in Izumo City, Shimane Prefecture. The region’s shorter daylight hours and lower UV exposure help produce tea leaves with deep green color, gentle flavor development, and a naturally smooth character.

Crafted by a Small Team of Artisans

IZUMO-SEICHA produces matcha in small batches with careful attention to color, aroma, and texture. This hands-on approach helps bring out KAGURA’s refined umami and smooth character.

Premium Grade for Special Moments

KAGURA is ideal when you want a more elevated matcha experience. It works beautifully for traditional preparation and also creates a rich, smooth premium latte.
