The new product is part of the "more delicious" concept, one of the five keywords the company has been working on since last year. The matcha frappe has been on sale since 2015 and has sold a total of approximately 11 million cups, making it one of the most popular flavors in a survey of flavors people would like to drink.


The new Uji Matcha Frappe, supervised by Harumatsu Kambayashi Honten, is a blend of matcha from Kyoto and Mie prefectures, carefully selected by Harumatsu Kambayashi Honten. The taste of matcha has been reduced to bring out its natural flavor, sweetness, and aroma. The shaved ice grains are finely ground to provide a smooth, melt-in-your-mouth texture of milk and authentic matcha green tea.
