- Description
- Tsujirihei Honten · Est. 1860 · Three-Cultivar Ceremonial · Earthy & Tranquil · Maison Koko Exclusive · First Release Outside Japan Description 九重昔 — Kokonoe Mukashi. In Japanese, kokonoe means ninefold, a reference to the layered gates of the Imperial Palace in Kyoto, each one deeper and more refined than the last. Mukashi (昔) is a traditional designation in tea naming, marking this as made the old way, by methods passed down through generations. Together, the name speaks of depth discovered through layers, made exactly as it always has been. Kokonoe no Mukashi is a ceremonial matcha of quiet, considered depth. Crafted from Ujihikari, Samidori, and Okumidori , three cultivars of distinct character, brought together by Tsujirihei Honten with 160 years of blending mastery, it harmonises subtlety and depth in a way that takes time to fully appreciate. The mouthfeel is creamy and smooth as silk. The umami builds in layers, earthy and warm, settling into a tranquil richness that stays long after the last sip. It is one of the most considered matchas in the collection. Like a Zen garden, its beauty lies not in spectacle but in the harmony of its composition. The more time you give it, the more it gives back.
