Matcha Isuzu has a vibrant green color and a refreshing umami taste that makes for a bold usucha (thin matcha). Harvested in the spring, the stone-ground matcha is made from first harvest tea leaves.
Matcha Isuzu is especially suited for preparing matcha lattes, as its tart brightness and pleasant astringent mouthfeel pair harmoniously with milk and plant-based alternatives.
The word Isuzu is written as 五十鈴 in Japanese, which translates into fifty bells in English. It is most known as the name of the famed Isuzu River that flows through the Ise Grand Shrine. The lake received its name after fifty bells were placed in the area when the shrine was first established.
Matcha Isuzu is made by Marukyu Koyamaen. Marukyu Koyamaen has over 300 years of experience in growing and blending Japanese tea. Headquartered in Uji, Kyoto, Marukyu Koyamaen is dedicated to preserving the original taste of tea.
How is Matcha Isuzu made
Matcha Isuzu is made by first shading the tea plants with reeds and straw. As the new tea leaves sprout and seek sunlight, chlorophyll levels increase and they turn bright green and soft. In the early spring, the new growth is harvested and steamed. The raw tea material is then dried and carefully stored away. Freshly ground Matcha Isuzu is made as needed, by de-stemming and deveining the tea leaves before finely grinding them into an ultra fine tea powder using a stone mill.
How to make a hot matcha latte
- Whisk together 1 teaspoon of well-sifted Matcha Isuzu and 60 ml of 80°C (175°F) filtered water using a chasen (bamboo whisk) or hand-held frother.
- Steam and froth 180 ml of your choice of milk.
- Pour the milk into the freshly whisked matcha.
- Sweeten if desired.
- Sip, stir, and enjoy your soothing hot matcha latte.
How to make an iced matcha latte
- Whisk together 1 teaspoon of well-sifted Matcha Isuzu along with 60 ml of 80°C (175°F) filtered water in a katakuchi (tea bowl with a spout).
- Add ½ cup of ice and 180 ml of milk into a tall glass.
- Slowly pour the matcha over the ice to create a layered latte.
- Sweeten if desired.
- Sip, stir, and enjoy your refreshing iced matcha latte.
How to make usucha (thin matcha)
- Heat a chawan (tea bowl) with hot water.
- Soften a chasen (bamboo whisk) by lowering the bristles into the hot water.
- Empty the water from the chawan, and use a soft cloth to dry the vessel thoroughly.
- Sift 1 teaspoon of Matcha Isuzu into the chawan, and whisk together with 60-70 ml of 75-85°C (170-185°F) filtered water using the softened chasen.
- Make a M or W motion using your wrist, while keeping from scraping the bottom and sides of the chawan.
- Once frothy, gently raise the chasen from the center of your chawan.
- Enjoy your fresh bowl of matcha.
How to store Matcha Isuzu
Store Matcha Isuzu in a dark spot away from light, heat, and humidity. Be sure to close tightly after opening to preserve the fresh taste of the tea.

Aunt Jane, Georgian Spinster Queen of English Prose
Format: Mass Market Paperback
I'm reading Emma again for the third time. It happened like this: I thought I'd try an audio book on CD for the first time, something to listen to in the car besides music. Scanning the shelves at the local bookstore, I saw loads of contemporary best sellers, self and financial help, new age and evangelical Christian spirituality, and Jane Austen's Emma in MP3 format, all on one disc. Austen! Water in the desert! I scooped her up.
For the last week I've been listening to her in my car. At the beginning it was without much concentration. Over the next few days my attention gradually increased. Now I'm hooked. Down the throat. Through the gut. Again. It happens to me every time I return to Jane. I just can't get enough. The last two nights I've gone to bed reading ahead of where I've listened. Even though the story is coming back to me, I'm still taken by it, hook line & sinker. Jane's reeling me in, and the line is utterly slack.
Now, I am a guy. I break out in hives if I happen to accidentally brush a romance novel. As far as I am concerned, bodice rippers where the tall olive skinned duke inevitably has his forceful yet gentle way with the heroine are good only as ammunition with which to tease the women in my life who enjoy such tripe. Having said this, I realize a lot of people also refer to Jane Austen as "Chick Lit," equating her with the likes of Nicolas Sparks. For the record, those people are on crack.
Austen is much more a comedic writer than a writer of what we call romances. She is simply a hoot. Subtle disjunctures and ironies build to exquisite crescendos. She has me laughing every other page. Her characters, even her unpleasant and ridiculous ones, tend to breed sympathy. Like most of my favorite books, she creates worlds, or a world, really (all of her books are set in the same historic and geographic milieu,) which comforts and gladdens. The feeling I get from her is much like the feeling I get when I read Tolkien describe the Shire or Last Homely House, or something like the children's book Frog & Toad to my niece.
It's an eating poached egg on toast snuggled up inside under a quilt on the couch with a cup of tea on a rainy day kind of feeling. (Don't you just love English prepositions and phrasal verbs? Try doing that in French! Austen and phrasal verbs: two of the many reasons English speakers ought to rejoice in their language, I say!)
Anyway, during all of her stories, including Emma, Europe was being blown apart by the Napoleonic Wars, and the only oblique references in any of her stories to that maelstrom is that Great Britain has a mobilized Army (Pride & Prejudice) and an active Navy (Persuasion.) The reason the military is important has nothing to do with Austerlitz, Waterloo, Trafalgar or any of that nonsense. Rather, it is that both services have officers which make very suitable suitors for women of her heroines' social positions (Lt. Wickham & Capt. Wentworth, for example.)
Some brand this awful: elitist, sexist, parochial. I, for one, find it beautiful. Small, intimate, ordered, secure, anchored. Very human and sane, that is.
What matters most is not what some silly diminutive one armed Corsican with maniacal delusions of world conquest is doing; no. What really matters is whether and how Mr. Woodhouse takes his gruel, or if Mr. Elton will propose to Harriet. Or if Mr. Knightly and Mrs. Weston have come to visit yet, today. Will Mr. Frank Churchill come, and what is he like? Has Emma truly foiled Mr. Martin's advances on her friend, he being an entirely unsuitable yeoman farmer? Harriet must marry a gentleman, you see.
Just so. Indeed, these are truly the things that mattered- and still matter- most. Don't let the history books and the reverse snobbery of some critics fool you.
Instead go read this book, and every other that Jane wrote, and prepare to be enchanted.

Jane Austen: A Classic
Jane Austen's novel Emma has been well known since it's publishment. In the 90's, a successful chick-flick movie, Clueless was based on this novel. Even though the movie does not in any way depict the intelligence of Jane Austen, it serves the main characters' personalities. The book by far was absolutely and brilliantly written while easy to understand in fairly relatable modern English. This book is a great read for literature analysts because it serves a wide variety of character traits within their society. It can also be used to analyze the socio-economic stereotypes and lifestyles of their time. The plot and storyline were at a consistent pace with a surprising climax and turn towards the end. Because it is a love story, it does follow the usual typical love story scenes. However, love is depicted differently by each couple and character, which sets it apart from other cinderella-like stories, which were popular during that time period. It is a very relaxing book -- not an intense read. It is also a classic even though not as widespread or as known as other Austen's novels such as Pride and Prejudice. It is definitely a recommanded read.

Very good read. Depend upon it!
Format: Kindle
After reading Pride and Prejudice, I figured that I ought to read Austin's "Emma", too.
It was a very good read and quite long. However one thing that kept sticking out to me was Emma's use of "Depend upon it!!". Unfortunately I must confess that as an anime fan, all I kept hearing in my head was Uzumaki Naruto's "Believe it!"—The English translation of his Japanese quirk, "~datte ba yo!"—and I would have a good chuckle. Now I picture Emma wearing a ninja headband and and I'm noxiously orange jumpsuit. Sorry. Now you can't unhear it either.

Good, but had to labor through this...
Emma was such a character who in my opinion, was a little bit too conceited - she had thought to know of the feelings of other people that made her feel very confident of her match-making skills; and yet, when these matches failed to be, she thought the failures were all her doing too! Just the same, as in any chick-lit novels, everything was well and as it should be towards the end.
It took me almost three weeks to finish this book, and I questioned myself why. It just didn't have that pull on me that I sometimes found myself browsing the net rather than reading the book. It's always a struggle for me to read 18th century writings; I always have to go back and reread for a more thorough understanding of what's being said. This is my second book by Jane Austen, and I'm probably getting tired of all the ceremonious ways of her period. Still, I could not fault the writing, being from a long ago era and true to it; it also elicited `hate and like' feelings towards the characters which is a sure indication of good literature...But still, I labored through it...so three stars to be fair to Ms. Austen and to myself.

A timeless, elegant delight
Emma is one of those rare classics that still feels alive in your hands. Jane Austen’s wit shines through every page, giving us a heroine who is flawed, charming, and endlessly human. The world she builds is warm and vivid, full of gentle humor, sharp insight, and the kind of slow‑blooming romance that lingers long after you finish. It’s a beautiful reminder of why Austen remains brilliant centuries later.
