Yame Asanoka is a rare single-cultivar matcha that captures the clarity and brightness of winter mornings. With its glossy jade-green hue and crisp, fragrant aroma, it’s one of the most refreshing matcha expressions in our collection. Smooth and mellow on the palate, it opens with a gentle umami that unfolds into a clean, lightly sweet finish - uplifting, airy, and quietly elegant.

Sourced from Yame, Fukuoka (あさのか・朝の香), “Asanoka” means “morning fragrance,” a name that perfectly reflects its crisp and refreshing character. This cultivar is produced in limited quantities each year, making it a distinctive addition to Anya Matcha’s Memories of a Season series - a celebration of matcha harvested only once each year, each carrying the memory of its season in every whisk.

Light-bodied yet refined, Yame Asanoka offers a unique aromatic experience for those who seek a matcha that is bright, clean, and full of quiet depth. A gentle reminder of still mornings, cool air, and the soft clarity of winter light.
