Why We Recommend Nutty Yame Matcha

Yame Matcha has become increasingly popular around the world for its naturally smooth, nutty character and rich umami.

Among Yame producers, HOSHINOEN is one of the most respected and well-known manufacturers. Their matcha is highly sought after by tea enthusiasts worldwide.

However, due to overwhelming demand and limited production, many of their products have remained difficult to obtain, with frequent shortages and rising prices in recent years.

At MatchaJP, we wanted to make the distinctive taste of authentic Yame matcha available more consistently.

To achieve this, we partnered with a carefully selected Yame tea producer capable of providing stable supply without compromising quality.

After extensive tasting and quality evaluation, our team chose this matcha for its excellent balance of flavor, consistency, and value.

Nutty Yame Matcha is part of our MatchaJP Selection series—matcha personally selected by our staff based on quality, stable availability, and overall value for customers around the world.

For customers already familiar with HOSHINOEN, we consider this matcha to offer a drinking experience comparable in overall grade to YAME-NO-TSUYU or HOSHI-NO-TSUYU, making it an excellent everyday choice for both matcha lattes and usucha.

Why Yame Matcha?

Yame is one of Japan’s most respected tea-growing regions. Its shaded tea cultivation and cool mountain climate produce matcha with depth, softness, and a distinctive warm character.

Carefully Hand-Picked & Stone-Milled

Only carefully hand-picked, shade-grown tea leaves are used for this matcha. After advanced processing precisely removes unwanted parts of the leaves, the selected tea is slowly stone-milled into an exceptionally fine powder. Each traditional stone mill produces only about 40g per hour, helping preserve the matcha's natural sweetness, vibrant green color, and delicate aroma.

Can I drink it as usucha?
