Flavorful usucha (thin tea) of exceptional quality from Yamamasa Koyamaen Ogurayama is an extraordinarily delightful and indulgent matcha tea with a mild, sweet, and creamy full-bodied flavor. As an usucha, it provides a pleasant and joyful experience, perfect for both those seeking a richer flavor and newcomers to matcha tea.

The name “Ogurayama” (小倉山) refers to “Mount Ogura,” a mountain in Saga, Kyoto, situated across the Hozu River from Arashiyama. It is believed that Fujiwara no Sadaie (also known as Fujiwara no Teika) compiled the “Hyakunin Isshu” (“One Hundred Poets, One Poem Each”) at his retreat on this mountain. Consequently, the renowned waka anthology is sometimes referred to as the “Ogura Hyakunin Isshu.”
