Tsuji-sensei has led the family farm since 1990. He conducts monthly soil analysis to ensure optimal growing conditions and tests his leaves annually for amino acid content to verify quality. His son now works alongside him, the 6th generation of the Tsujiki legacy already in training.

He does not blend matcha from other farmers. He does not blend vintage years. Every tin is a single producer, single harvest, single season expression.

2026 First Harvest (Shincha)

Tsujiki harvests only once a year, placing absolute priority on quality over quantity.

Tsujiki harvests only once a year. This is not a commercial decision, it is a quality decision.
By limiting the harvest to a single season, the farm focuses entirely on nurturing the healthiest leaves at their absolute peak. No second or third flush. No compromise on freshness or flavour. This patience and discipline are at the heart of Tsujiki’s philosophy and are felt in every bowl.

A by-product of the matcha harvest, using stems and leaves that aren’t selected for matcha production and roasting them into hōjicha. Roasted slowly at low temperature and then stone-milled.
