Hoshi no Tsuyu (星の露) from Hoshino Seichaen
Very popular for tea ceremonies in Kyushu and among fans of Hoshino’s nutty-sweet profile.
Works beautifully as usucha (thin tea), but also holds up in koicha (thick tea) because of its balance and creaminess.
Often chosen for special occasions, but also approachable for regular enjoyment.
Meaning: “Dew of the Stars”
Producer: Hoshino Seichaen (Yame, Fukuoka)
Considered one of their signature ceremonial matcha powders.
Flavor is usually mellow, smooth, and sweet with a gentle umami — very balanced, easy to drink daily.
Color: bright, fine green with good froth.
Typically positioned as an entry-to-mid level ceremonial matcha (great for usucha, also latte-friendly).
Hoshi no Tsuyu → smooth, approachable, daily ceremonial.
Yame no Tsuyu → umami-forward, expresses Yame terroir.
Ike no Shiro → higher-grade, refined, softer sweetness and umami.
