Ayame Baking Matcha (あやめ)

The entry-level Koyamaen Matcha series has a fresh fragrance and strong astringency. It will relatively show the bitterness of Matcha, with moderate sweetness. The sweetness effect is not as obvious as the high-end series, so it is recommended to use it in high-temperature baked desserts.

Ayame FAQ

Quick answers for shoppers comparing this product before checkout.

Is Ayame meant for baking or for ceremonial bowls?

Ayame is better treated as a baking-first matcha. Its firmer bitterness and astringency help the flavor stay present in cakes, cookies, creams, and other dessert recipes instead of getting lost behind sugar or dairy.

Can Ayame still be used for matcha latte?

Yes. If you like a stronger matcha presence in milk, Ayame works well in latte-style drinks. It is simply not the gentlest choice for a delicate straight bowl.
