About Fukusho
Fukusho is part of our Ceremonial Matcha collection and is a Chaseki Private Label product - crafted by established tea producers in Yame, Fukuoka Prefecture and sold exclusively under the Chaseki brand.
Yame is one of Japan's most historically prestigious tea regions - producing more than half of all gyokuro sold in Japan, with fertile soil, morning river mist, and over 600 years of tea cultivation knowledge contributing to its distinctive regional character. Even at the entry tier, Yame ceremonial matcha expresses that character clearly.
Fukusho is deliberately designed as the bridge between culinary and premium ceremonial. Its soft mouthfeel, sweet character, and creamy notes are approachable for first-time ceremonial matcha drinkers, while its medium-to-long finish and vivid vegetal depth are satisfying for experienced palates. It performs across a wider range of applications than most entry-level matchas - lattes, clear-style, coconut water, and usucha all work well.
Taste Profile
Mouthfeel: Soft to juicy Finish: Medium to long Umami: Moderate Character: Sweet grass, creamy, dairy-smooth Flavor NotesFukusho opens with a soft to juicy mouthfeel and a medium to long finish that leaves a lasting impression. Bright green notes of sweet grass lead the entry - vivid and clean. Fresh spinach follows, then cooked peas and buttered asparagus, building a full, vegetal depth that is characteristic of Yame. Creamy dairy notes of fresh cream and butter arrive through the mid-palate, smoothing and rounding the vegetal character into a rich, smooth texture. The overall impression is soft, bright, and creamy - a ceremonial matcha that is inviting rather than demanding.
How to Use Fukusho
Best suited for:- Matcha lattes (hot and iced)
- Usucha
- Clear-style preparations
- Coconut water matcha
Fukusho's soft, creamy character works across all four applications. In usucha, its medium-to-long finish and sweet grass depth produce a satisfying, approachable bowl. In lattes, the fresh cream and butter notes integrate naturally with milk. In clear-style and coconut water preparations, the sweet grass and spinach freshness is vivid and clean. For those ready to step up to greater complexity, Yame No Takumi is the natural next move in the Yame ceremonial range.
How Fukusho Compares
Fukusho is the accessible entry to the Yame ceremonial range. One step above, Yame No Takumi adds subtle smokiness, hints of Khanom Ping, dark chocolate, and macadamia to a more complex, layered profile. The range continues upward through Yame No Wakaba, Yame No Nagomi, and Yame No Megumi as complexity and preparation specificity increase. Fukusho is the right starting point - versatile, approachable, and genuinely expressive of Yame's regional character.

What makes Fukusho a good entry ceremonial matcha?

What are the 'fresh cream and butter' notes in Fukusho?
Natural flavor impressions from Yame cultivars - not added. They describe a rich, dairy-like creaminess in the mouthfeel and finish characteristic of high-quality shade-grown Yame matcha. In Fukusho, these notes give the matcha a smooth, rich texture that distinguishes it from typical entry-level options.
Can Fukusho be used for both lattes and traditional usucha?
