Kenkyū no Shiro (研久の白), meaning “Refined White”, is a ceremonial-grade matcha crafted with the precision and artistry that define Gion Tsujiri’s heritage since 1860. With its calm richness and subtle depth, it offers a contemplative matcha experience—harmonising smoothness with quiet strength.

Taste & Character

Rounded umami forms the heart of Kenkyū no Shiro, unfolding into layers of tender greens, toasted nuttiness, and a faint cocoa-like depth. Its natural sweetness lingers gracefully, balancing richness with elegance.

Aroma

Calm and grounding, the aroma recalls shaded tea leaves touched by rain—fresh, earthy, and faintly nutty. Once whisked, it expands into a warm, enveloping fragrance that reflects the tea’s depth of character.

Texture & Finish

Stone-milled to ceremonial fineness, Kenkyū no Shiro produces a smooth, even froth. On the palate, it glides silkily yet with presence, leaving a velvety coating and a long, harmonious finish.
