How to Prepare Matcha (Traditional Usucha or Light Koicha Style)

What you’ll need:

• 1 serving (approx. 2g) of Ichifuku Matcha
• Hot water (70–80°C or 158–176°F)
• A small sifter
• Chawan (matcha bowl)
• Chasen (bamboo whisk)

Steps:

1. Sift the matcha into the bowl for a smooth, clump-free texture.
2. Add hot water (about 2 oz or 60 ml).
3. Whisk in a “W” motion until frothy and smooth. For slightly thin koicha, use slightly less water for a concentrated, balanced flavor.
4. Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing aroma, clean taste, and a small moment of happiness with Ichifuku.
