SO MATCHA HOSHINAMI（星波) Ceremonial · Blend

HOSHINAMI（星波） Meaning “Wave of Stars,” this ceremonial blend reflects the quiet harmony that emerges when diverse elements come together in perfect balance. Crafted in Minamikyushu, Kagoshima, it combines six carefully selected first-harvest cultivars: Saemidori, Yutakamidori, Okumidori, Yabukita, Asatsuyu, and Asanoka. Each contributes its own character, creating a matcha with depth, complexity, and remarkable clarity. Shade-grown before harvest and stone-milled into an exceptionally fine powder, the tea reveals a silky texture, gentle umami, and remarkable smoothness. Notes of white bean, sunflower seed, roasted chestnut, and raw almond unfold across the palate, bringing subtle sweetness, nutty depth, and a lingering creamy finish. Refined yet approachable, it captures the vibrant character of Kagoshima while delivering elegance, structure, and quiet depth.
