By the time you got to Kinrin there was half an inch of melted ice water on top of it. Highly suggest a re-do on this review - prepare it both ways - just usucha maybe 70mL of hot (not boiling) water, and then the way shown in this video. And compare the flavor differences in the two preps.
Wow such a beautiful green color all the Matchas have😍💚how do you make the Americano Style? And how many different Matchas do you have at Home?😊love your Videos👍🏻
thank you!! I make the matcha as normal and add a little bit more water to a cup with ice to make it Americano style :) I have quite a lot, but I'll make a video of my whole collection
omg thank you so much for this! I'm going to Japan at the end of the year and this helped a lot! are these 20g containers? and I'm assuming the Chigi no shiro is 40g container?
I taste these as americanos because I know some of my viewers like to drink theirs as an americano so I wanted to help them figure out which matcha profile they would like :) I typically try it as usucha whenever I get a new matcha powder to try!
@@tiffanylee2752 Depends on their grading. Marukyu Koyamaen's grading as follows (highest to lowest). Tenju > Kiwami Choan > Choan > Eiju > Unkaku > Kinrin > Wako > Yugen > Chigi No Shiro > Isuzu > Aoarashi Grade starting from Kinrin and above are suitable for Koicha(as well as Usucha). Higher grade = Sweeter, smoother and umami taste. Lower grade = Bitter, astringent and grassy. *Preparing Eiju as a Koicha(Thick tea) water temperature BELOW 75 Celcius* Taste is very sweet(like sweetcorn). Decent amount of umami notes(3/5). Zero bitterness. Slight to med level of astringency(2/5) BUT not a bad thing, because the complexity from the sweetness and umami really compliments or balance out the overall flavour(if not you will be drinking super sweet pure syrup). The finish has a roasted (peanuts) notes. *Preparing Eiju as Usucha water temp around 80 Celcius* Won't be as intense as Koicha but still taste bold. Depends heavily on how well you can produce foam level(zero to heavy foam) and whisk technique to produce evenly sized bubbles. Zero foam (Matcha is whisked with water to suspend them but without foaming) has highest strength in flavor and aroma. Heavy foam has a more mellow or gentle flavor (great for masking bitter in lower grade matcha). If you want to make latte, sweetness profile from the Eiju and milk will try to neutralize one another, basically the latte overall taste will be smooth but mild. Just use lower grades like Aoarashi or cheaper labelled "Ceremonial" grade(even culinary grade works) for your latte. Astringency and bitterness from lower grades is what makes the matcha latte pops.
@Danny-ex3tj damn I learned more from one comment on TH-cam than doing my own research. Thank you for your knowledge. I've moved away from lattes after I started buying my own matcha for home preparations, and I'm still trying to find my perfect one, so this knowledge helped me a lot.
Their tea is sold out almost everywhere 😂people are wild 😮
AAAAAA ive waited so long for this from you!! finally😭😭😭
YAYYY I hope you enjoyed :)

yes, 20 grams and the chigi is 40 grams!
Ive tried the aorashi and love it. Sadly its out of stock on Amazon.
I’ve been in Japan for the last 3 months and all of their popular matchas have been sold out the entire time 🙃
They start harvesting in mid April. They just announced on their website due to high demand they decided to suspend selling until further notice
Do you know Nekohama Matcha? Could you try this one?🥰
yes!
Hi can you give me recommendation the best marukyu for lattes ?
A real taste test would drink them prepared in the traditional way, as usucha, not watered down and cold. This completely changes the flavor profile.
I taste these as americanos because I know some of my viewers like to drink theirs as an americano so I wanted to help them figure out which matcha profile they would like :) I typically try it as usucha whenever I get a new matcha powder to try!
what do they taste like traditional style? I want to order the eijo
