Enshu Matcha Powder from Shizukaen 30g

"Enshu" is a premium-grade matcha crafted exclusively from 100% first flush (ichibancha) tea leaves grown in Iwata, Shizuoka. With its limited production and low distribution, Iwata matcha is considered highly rare and sought-after.

This matcha showcases a brilliant deep green color, reflecting the quality of its tea cultivar. It is uniquely produced using the rare Sayamakaori variety, delivering a slightly strong astringency balanced with a bold, full-bodied flavor. Its distinctive taste makes it ideal for both traditional tea preparation (usucha) and modern applications such as matcha lattes, desserts, and premium confectionery.

Experience the bold and unique flavor of Shizuoka with "Enshu" from JJ Market—an excellent choice for both refined tea gatherings and creative culinary use.

Shizukaen

Shizukaen is a tea producer based on the fertile Iwatahara Plateau in Shizuoka Prefecture, a region known for ideal tea-growing conditions. The company is dedicated to crafting 100% single-origin teas, never blending leaves from other regions. Their philosophy is rooted in purity and authenticity: cultivating healthy soil with organic-based fertilizers, minimizing pesticides, and carefully managing growth to produce robust leaves with rich flavor.

Sourced in Shizuoka

Iwata, in western Shizuoka Prefecture, is renowned for tea cultivation. The Iwatahara Plateau’s flat terrain, excellent drainage, and fertile red-yellow loam soil create ideal conditions for growing flavorful tea. Blessed with abundant sunlight and a mild climate, the region produces deep-steamed green tea with a vivid color, smooth taste, and rich aroma—qualities that reflect both the land’s natural gifts and the careful cultivation of local farmers.

Traceability

Shizukaen ensures safety and quality through a strict traceability system from farm to packaging. They work closely with contract farmers, managing fertilizer and pest control while keeping detailed records of when, where, and by whom each tea was grown. Every batch is fully traceable, including pesticide use. Their JGAP certification confirms their adherence to international standards. This transparency and in-house processing guarantee reliable, high-quality tea.

Commitment to Quality

Shizukaen’s pursuit of top-quality tea begins with healthy soil. Guided by their motto “Let’s make the most delicious tea in Japan,” they use a unified, organic-based fertilizer plan across all farms, including fish meal and rapeseed cake. Fertilizer timing is carefully adjusted to each growth stage, ensuring nutrient-rich leaves. Their agronomists and tea instructors regularly inspect fields to maintain plant and soil health while minimizing pesticide use. This hands-on, eco-conscious approach results in thick, flavorful leaves with rich umami and aroma. Quality is built into every step, from soil to final processing.

Single-Origin Craftsmanship

Shizukaen is dedicated to single-origin tea, using only leaves grown on the Iwatahara Plateau from trusted contract farms. All harvesting, processing, and packaging are done in-house to maintain full quality control. Unlike blended teas, Shizukaen’s products capture the pure terroir of Iwata – offering a consistent, authentic flavor that reflects the local soil and climate. This “100% Iwatahara” approach ensures each cup delivers a true sense of place, with mellow sweetness, gentle astringency, and rich body.

The People Behind the Tea

Shizukaen works closely with a trusted group of long-term contract farmers across the Iwatahara Plateau. Each farmer brings a unique approach, creating rich diversity while sharing a strong commitment to quality. Iwatahara’s abundant sunshine makes it one of Japan’s earliest tea-growing regions, allowing Shizukaen to deliver some of the first shincha (new spring tea) each year. Their traceability system highlights exactly when, where, and by whom each batch was made, honoring the farmers’ craftsmanship. Every cup reflects the care and pride of these dedicated growers.
