Lab Testing
Measured contaminant levels from brand and independent reports. Hover a row to learn how to read it. Lower is better.
Radiation
* Brand-wide result: Ippodo's teas were tested annually (2011 to 2020) for radioactive cesium by a third-party lab (Japan Food Inspection Corporation), with none detected; not a measurement specific to this product.
Figures are reported by the linked source and shown in standardized units. Matcha Spot does not independently verify lab results.

Pleasantly suprised
Pleasantly surprised with my first taste of Kan by Ippodo today. I prepped it as usacha - 4oz water with ~2g matcha (1 tsp). I got an initial rush of umami, quickly followed by roasted/nutty notes, with a slight bitter finish. Brothy and smooth overall. I was expecting a lot more bitterness based on other reviews. It was minor, on par with Sayaka. I actually think it's more well-rounded than Sayaka. It’s also a bit cheaper than Sayaka per gram ($1.20 vs $1.35 on the US site), but comes in a 20g instead of 40g size. I think this makes it appealing to both try and have in your rotation given the Ippodo price increases. Lower initial investment and less pressure to consume quickly to avoid oxidization. I’d definitely purchase again.
