Would not recommend
Bought Ikuyo when I needed a stand-in and Ummon was sold out. Rookie mistake. Bitter, kind of dusty mouthfeel, vegetal in the wrong way (think old salad, not fresh). Maybe culinary grade matcha just isn't for me. Whisked it as usucha twice and dumped the rest into a smoothie because I couldn't keep drinking it straight.
