Uji-Shimizu: Sweetened Matcha
A quick and easy recipe for our sweetened matcha blend to enjoy at any time, in any place.
Uji-shimizu is our original instant blend of matcha and sugar. It’s tasty whether made cold with ice, hot in a mug, or mixed with yogurt and granola at breakfast.
An original Ippodo creation developed in 1935, Uji-Shimizu is a matcha-based instant powder. It’s a blend of matcha and sugar that’s easy-to-prepare, easy-to-drink, and delicious either hot or cold. We recommend it especially for those who prefer their matcha sweet.
Each Uji-Shimizu stick holds one serving's worth, 15 grams. These portable packets allow you to enjoy Uji-Shimizu wherever and whenever you want. Put them in your bag, and take them with you to enjoy at work. Hand them out during tea time with friends. Use them at home on mornings when you just want a quick cup without measuring.
One stick contains 15 grams of Uji-Shimizu matcha, which can be enjoyed simply by mixing it with about 150 ml of hot or cold milk or water. When mixed with milk, the matcha mellows milk's distinctive aroma, creating a mild beverage that is very easy to drink. Prepared with hot milk, it imparts the relaxing feeling you get when drinking tea with milk and sugar.
Add 1 stick to a cup or mug. Add hot or cold water, or milk, and mix until dissolved. For a stronger or lighter taste, adjust the amount of water or milk used. You can also stir Uji-Shimizu in with yogurt and use it as a matcha-flavored sweetener for other recipes.
