Ishimoto Kawaguchiken - Unkaku

Ishimoto Kawaguchiken – Unkaku (雲鶴)

Color: Deep jade green with a smooth, bright liquor.
Flavor: Steamed grass, white beans, light nut milk, with hints of dried seaweed and roasted rice. The taste is well-rounded, opens gently, and finishes with a soft depth.
Umami: Noticeable – not as rich as Wako, but evenly spread and smooth.
Sweetness: Naturally light sweetness on the finish — subtle and pleasant.
Bitterness/Astringency: Very mild when whisked strong; fades quickly without dryness.
Fineness: Very fine powder, easy to sift, froths up nicely when whisked well.

✅ Best for: Light usucha, daily coldwhisk sessions. Ideal for those who prefer clean, mellow flavors with a smooth finish.
