Gyokuro Shogyoku - The Finest Gyokuro from Uji, Kyoto by Shogyokuen

Gyokuro Shogyoku is Shogyokuen's signature expression at the absolute top of their gyokuro range - produced from Uji, Kyoto, by a family-run factory established in 1827. This is not just the most expensive gyokuro in the Chaseki portfolio. It is the one where Hiroshi Kobayashi's full 1827-lineage expertise and the finest Uji provenance meet without compromise. The cup is complete in a way that takes decades of production knowledge to achieve.
