〈Kiyosen〉
Uji Kuzumochi set (77g x 5 pieces) Matcha Kuzumochi Houjicha Kuzumochi
History:
[Kiyosen] brings the charm of green tea to everyone across the country. This is a tea house in Ujitawara-cho, Kyoto that was founded with the aim of getting people to know about it. Uji tea carefully selected by tea examination technicians and Japanese tea instructors. We deliver matcha and hojicha sweets from Ujitawara Town, the birthplace of green tea.
Description of the Product:
KIYOSEN's Kuzumochi set includes Uji green tea and hojicha (roasted green tea) kuzumochi. This kuzumochi set has a firm texture and a rich, refreshing flavor. We have devised a manufacturing process that brings out the smooth and moderately elastic texture that is the charm of Kuzumochi while bringing out the flavors of matcha and hojicha green tea.
Our Uji matcha is made using only the first-grade matcha
ground on a stone mortar in Kyoto Prefecture. Grinding matcha with a millstone is a time-consuming and labor-intensive process. However, the careful manual grinding of matcha allows the taste, aroma, color, and foam to be enjoyed by all five senses, a characteristic that only a millstone grinder can offer.
Unlike regular hojicha, stem hojicha is made by roasting the stems of the first tea leaves using a unique roasting method called "sand roasting". Characteristically, it has a sweeter taste than regular hojicha and a unique savory flavor that brings out the unique flavor of the stems.
Ingredients
Matcha kuzumochi: Sugar (manufactured in Japan), reduced syrup, matcha, kudzu starch, agar agar/gelator (polysaccharide thickening agent, processed starch), processed starch, polysaccharide thickening agent
Hojicha Kuzumochi: Sugar (manufactured in Japan), reduced syrup, hojicha, kudzu starch, agar/gelator (polysaccharide thickening agent, processed starch)
