Thoughts on Matcha Sweets

Obsession for the Kiyosen brand【Taste】

Bring out new attraction

The Kiyosen brand [Matcha product] is an original brand that focuses on every product one by one.
Uji Matcha's good astringency, good taste, fresh smell, vivid green ... "I want everyone to know more about the charms of Matcha" it is from this feeling where we started making products using Matcha.
While the matcha boom is full of apparent green tea confectionery etc. (more coloring than necessary, flavors) overflowing, we used high-grade Uji Matcha Tea used for tea ceremony without using any fragrance, artificial pigment and additives.
Therefore, our commitment to tea is unmeasurable.
In addition, the Kiyosen brand is not only limited to using rich green tea.
We aim to make the most of the attractiveness of Matcha and establish such a Matcha Premium Brand, which is supported by people of all ages from children to the elderly.
We hope that you will continue to appreciate Uji tea and Uji tea products, the highest class of Japanese tea that has excellent effects on health maintenance, through our products.

Obsession with Matcha and Hoji Tea Chocolate

Matcha Chocolate

Most Matcha Chocolates around the world are simply flavored and are not pure Matcha. We would love you to have a taste of the true Uji Matcha, which is how KIYOSEN has came to be born in the first place. There are some different obsessions and preferences here.

・ We use valuable blending high quality green tea usually used in 8% of tea ceremonies.
・ We spend 20,000 yen (market price) for every Uji matcha for every 1 kg.
・ We have managed to successfully bring out the beautiful natural green color and green tea flavor with our unique manufacturing technology without using any artificial coloring or green tea fragrance.
・ (Raw materials) Cocoa butter, whole milk powder, sugar, matcha, emulsifier (from soy), spices.

Hoji tea chocolate

The fragrant aroma of hojicha will make you feel refreshed. You can taste both the mellowness and umami taste of the high-quality roasted tea. Our hojicha chocolate is based on high quality ingredients. We are committed to using the refined aroma and taste which is the appeal point with its high quality hojicha to chocolate.

・ We use only a portion of the finest tea leaves, first grade tea's "stem portion" of the leaf.
・ We made white chocolate with specifications that bring out the characteristics of roasted tea more than ever using Matcha chocolate based on white chocolate after several decades of trial and error.
We measure the properties of green tea chocolate while it goes through changes, by re-adjusting the raw materials, because green tea is weak to light. We then carefully determine the packaging material to maintain the quality, and minimize the blurring of the quality.
・ (Raw materials) Cocoa butter, whole milk powder, sugar, roasted tea, vegetable oil, cacao mass, emulsifier, spices.
・ 120 days of normal temperature storage.
(The flavor is not intended to bring out the scent of Matcha, but uses some vanillin as the essence of the scent of white chocolate based.)

Obsession with Kyo Monaka

Because the wafer cake's outer side and prawns are stuffed separately, it boasts the freshness and crispy feeling of freshness The outer layer (types) in the middle is using glutinous rice from Toyama prefecture. Matcha peel is easy to lose its flavor during the baking process, so we adjusted the blending timing of the ingredients and examine the flavor and color of the matcha. Kyouban tea's flavor (Hojicha peel) was used as a raw material to make the color too dark, and to give off the aroma and flavor.
