Made with Marukyu Koyamaen Aoarashi Ceremonial Grade Matcha (丸久小山園 青嵐). 


Founded in 1704, Marukyu Koyamaen's (丸久小山園) history dates back to the Edo period in Japan. For centuries, it has been producing premium Matcha while adhering to traditional methods. Coming first place in the 2020 National Tea Competition (第74回全国茶品評会 農林水産大臣賞) in Japan, Marukyu Koyamaen is widely regarded as one of the best Matcha producers by Matcha lovers from around the world.

What makes this cake even more special is our choice of Marukyu Koyamaen's Ceremonial Grade Matcha Aoarashi (青嵐). Known for its exquisite flavours, vibrant green hue and limited harvest, we might just be London's only confectioner to use Ceremonial Grade Matcha for cakes due to its scarce supply and expensive price. 

To showcase the taste of Aoarashi and its distinction from others, we've crafted a concentrated Aoarashi Essence Sauce, and trust us, just a few drops will forever revolutionize your perception of Matcha confectionary. The burst of umami exudes an opulent, profound, yet unbelievably delicate flavour that will engulf every bit of your senses.

We are confident in saying this cake is comparable to the best Matcha cakes not only in London but also in Japan. So allow us to humbly challenge all Matcha enthusiasts to take a bite and enjoy a truly unforgettable and transformative Matcha experience.

For comparison, our regular Matcha Basque Cheesecake uses top culinary grade Uji Matcha, which has a lighter taste and a more yellowish color than the ceremonial grade Aoarashi (see the last photo).
