Matcha “Matsukaze” offers the authentic flavor of matcha while keeping bitterness and astringency mild, making it easy to enjoy. It’s also ideal for cooking and baking, allowing the true taste of matcha to shine in your recipes.
How to Prepare
- Warm the tea bowl with hot water.
- Soften the bamboo whisk (chasen) by warming it with hot water.
- Place 1.5 g of matcha (1.5 scoops with a chashaku or slightly heaped 1 teaspoon) into the bowl.
- Sifting the matcha through a fine sieve helps prevent clumps and makes whisking easier.
Tips:
- If you don’t have a traditional matcha bowl, you can use a café au lait cup or a small bowl.
- Make sure the bowl is dry before adding matcha; any remaining water can cause the powder to clump.
2. Add hot water
- Pour about 70 ml of water cooled to around 80 °C (176 °F) into the bowl with the matcha.
Tips:
- Pour a small amount first and gently mix with the whisk to create a paste before adding the rest of the water; this helps prevent clumps.
- Moving boiling water between containers once lowers its temperature by roughly 8–10 °C, which can help achieve the ideal water temperature.
3. Whisk the matcha
- Using the bamboo whisk, quickly mix in an “M” motion (up and down) for about 15 seconds.
- Once a nice foam forms, adjust the bubbles with the whisk tip, and your matcha is ready.
Tips:
- Hold the bowl firmly and use your wrist to whisk quickly for the best foam.
Storage
Before opening:
- Refrigeration or freezing before opening helps maintain freshness.
- However, cold matcha absorbs moisture quickly and can degrade rapidly, so always allow it to return to room temperature before opening.
After opening:
- Freshness is crucial. Store in a cool, dark place and consume quickly.
- If storing for medium-to-long periods, sealing tightly and refrigerating can help, but frequent opening increases the risk of absorbing moisture or odors.
- For optimal use, purchase an amount you can finish quickly and store at room temperature.
Handling Matcha (Regarding clumps)
- Matcha is finely ground and dried to maintain quality, which makes it prone to static electricity and clumping.
- During storage, the powder can settle, also causing clumps.
- Sifting through a fine sieve just before whisking ensures smooth, clump-free matcha and a perfect foam.

For those seeking additional information on estimated shipping times, please refer to the details below outlining our shipping process and timeline.
Cross-border shipping involves complex factors, such as customs procedures, transportation time, and international logistics. Consequently, it may require additional time compared to domestic shipping.
We typically make shipments within 1-2 business days after receiving your order, however, there may be delays in delivery due to items being out of stock or due to a particularly high volume of orders. There may also be delays due to Japanese national holidays, especially multi-day holidays, such as Golden Week and New Year’s.
Once the package is shipped, it must pass through customs and be transported via international logistics. Additionally, there may be delays depending on the customer country’s inspection or policies, shipping method, weather conditions, and other factors.
We value your business and understand that waiting for your order to arrive may be frustrating, and we will strive to complete and ship your order within a reasonable timeframe.
If you have any questions or require further information, please do not hesitate to check out our full FAQ, read our Shipping Policy page, or to contact our customer service team.
Please keep the following information in mind before placing your order:
The "best before date" is the date until which the product is at its freshest in terms of optimal flavor and aroma. Unlike an expiration date, it does not mean that the product is inedible once its best before date has passed. If you place an order for a product that is close to its best before date as indicated on MiauMall, we will still deliver the product to you regardless of whether it arrives past that date.
Please keep this in mind before placing your order.
