Why Shimane’s Matcha Is Special

KAMI-WATASHI is grown in Izumo City, Shimane Prefecture. The region’s shorter daylight hours and lower UV exposure help produce tea leaves with vivid color, gentle flavor, and a clean finish that pairs beautifully with milk.

Crafted by a Small Team of Artisans

IZUMO-SEICHA produces matcha in small batches with careful attention to color, aroma, and drinkability. This careful production helps KAMI-WATASHI stay smooth and consistent for daily lattes.

Made for Smooth Daily Lattes

KAMI-WATASHI is designed for customers who want a balanced matcha for frequent home use. It offers strong color and a smoother taste than entry-level latte matcha.
