About Gion Tsujiri
The history of Gion Tsujiri dates back to 1860 (Man'en 1), when the company was founded by the first-generation Tsujiriemon in the village of Uji, Yamashiro Province (now Uji City, Kyoto Prefecture). The company originally began by producing and selling Uji tea, and later established its foundation in the Kyoto Gion area, leading to the name "Gion Tsujiri."
To deliver the highest quality matcha, Gion Tsujiri employs traditional stone mills, meticulously grinding the tea leaves at a slow and steady pace. This process ensures the matcha retains its vibrant deep green color and aromatic fragrance. Despite the demands of modern efficiency, this traditional method yields only 40 grams of matcha per hour. The resulting matcha, with its beautiful colour, froth, and full-bodied flavour, can only be achieved through the time-honoured technique of stone grinding.
We invite you to experience the authentic taste of Uji matcha from Gion Tsujiri, a true embodiment of tradition and quality.
