Goku Mukashi Matcha by Kanbayashi Shunsho
How to Prepare Goku Mukashi Matcha
Sift 2 g (1 heaped teaspoon) of matcha into a pre-warmed chawan (tea bowl).
Add 60–70 ml of water heated to 70–80 °C (160–175 °F).
Whisk briskly with a chasen (bamboo whisk) in a zig-zag motion until a creamy, even foam forms.
Sip immediately and enjoy the deep, lingering umami that unfolds with each sip.
Koicha preparation: Use 3–4 g of matcha with 30–40 ml water at 70 °C, stirring slowly in circular motions until thick and glossy.
