Our Journey

1991 — Where it began

It all began at our family’s "Masuzushi" shop. Here, I learned that true craft requires patience, discipline, and the finest ingredients.

Curated Quality

We don’t just source—we curate. Each batch is selected and tested to meet our standards for a clean, vibrant cup.

Direct Relationships

We work with trusted partners and producers in Japan—built on long-term relationships and clear standards.

What We Stand For

Craft you can taste.

Vibrant color, zero additives. We source carefully so you taste the difference in every bowl.

Quality, Uncompromised.

No shortcuts. We only serve matcha we are proud to offer at our own café counter.

Made for real life.

Beautiful for Usucha, strong enough for lattes. Perfectly curated for your daily ritual.
