The "Inochi" Collection
In 2022, a tragedy suddenly fell on him during tea manufacturing, which brought him to the brink of death. This experience made him aware of the value of life, and he has been perfecting his material with more blazing passion.
The tea he is particularly enthralled by is called “Tencha,” which is a basic ingredient of matcha. He knows everything about tencha, and he might as well be a professor as a craftsman.
The matcha such a master produces is undoubtedly the best in the world.
The collection is named “Inochi,” which means life in Japanese. It is the most valuable, precious thing in this world. The Inochi Collection, which shows us the brightness of life and something beyond our world, is the culmination of his work of the greatest passion and love.
Region
Uji - Kyoto
Uji, the region with the oldest history of Japanese tea, is located in southern Kyoto and is one of Japan's most prestigious luxury tea-producing regions.
Made with proven skills and a rich environment, the tea produced here has a firm astringency and gentle sweetness. Uji matcha, in particular, is renowned worldwide as an icon of Japan.
Tea type
Matcha
Matcha — a signature Japanese luxury tea — is made by grinding shade-grown tea leaves with a millstone.
It has a rich texture resulting from the direct consumption of tea leaves. Matcha is like the espresso of Japanese tea; extraction requires a different tea set and method from other tea types.
