Unearthing the Essence of Matcha with 'Cigar au Matcha'

Yokumoku, renowned for its exquisite confectionery, is about to delight matcha lovers with the release of its limited edition 'Cigar au Matcha' on April 15, 2026. This special treat, available until June 14, 2026, will be sold at Yokumoku outlets nationwide and online, as well as in select locations overseas.

A Blend Rooted in Tradition

The 'Cigar au Matcha' utilizes premium Uji matcha from Horita Katsuhiro Shoten, a prestigious tea merchant established during the Tenpo era in Kyoto. Their expertise in blending—known as 'Gogumi'—ensures that the matcha is crafted with precision, balancing flavor, aroma, and color. This carefully selected and skillfully combined matcha is integral to the taste profile of the 'Cigar au Matcha', making it an indulgent choice for anyone who appreciates fine Japanese tea.

A Harmonious Fusion of Flavors

What sets the 'Cigar au Matcha' apart is its exceptional flavor profile. The rich buttery notes of the Cigar blend harmonize seamlessly with the delicate sweetness and umami of the matcha, creating a delightful taste experience. The addition of matcha chocolate further enhances the overall palate. Each bite offers a perfect balance, with the subtle bitterness of the matcha providing a pleasant aftertaste that lingers, making it a true masterpiece.

The Visual Appeal of Matcha

In addition to taste, the 'Cigar au Matcha' boasts a stunning appearance that reflects the vibrant colors of matcha. Each piece is baked delicately to highlight the natural tones of the matcha, ensuring that visual allure accompanies every bite. Each Cigar is rolled around a matcha-infused chocolate, showcasing the meticulous craftsmanship involved in its creation.

Two Exciting Variants Available

Yokumoku offers two packaging options for the 'Cigar au Matcha': a box of five pieces for 1,080 JPY and a larger box containing 14 pieces for 3,132 JPY. The limited edition nature of this product means enthusiasts should act quickly to secure their own supply.
