Shading
Forty days beneath rice-straw shades slows growth and draws out deep umami and chlorophyll.
Uji, Kyoto 宇治・京都
The door to
tradition.
A shōji is the sliding door of a Japanese home — the threshold you cross into a calmer, more considered room. We are that door to matcha: a direct, careful passage from the shaded fields of Uji to businesses that refuse to compromise.
Our mission 使命
Premium matcha, without the noise.
The global market is flooded with matcha that lacks authenticity and respect for tradition. We work directly with farmers in Uji, Kyoto — people who have dedicated their lives to this craft — so that every batch we ship carries the care, heritage and flavor that true matcha deserves.
For importers, distributors and cafés who value quality above all else, we make sourcing authentic matcha straightforward.

The craft 職人技
Five steps.
Zero shortcuts.
While most producers shade for 20 days under plastic, our farmers shade for 40 — under hand-woven rice straw, the way it has been done for centuries.
Hand-picking
Only the first tender leaves of spring are picked — the highest in nutrients, the smoothest in flavor.
Stone-milling
Granite mills turn counter-clockwise for one hour to yield just 40 grams of ceremonial matcha.
"When quality and integrity come first, lasting partnerships naturally follow."— Shōji Matcha, Uji · Kyoto
