Meiji Kinoko no Yama Uji & Takenoko no Sato Nishio Matcha Assortment Chocolate Biscuits Family Pack

Japan has two great matcha regions, and Japan has two great chocolate biscuit snacks.

This is the package that puts both debates in one bag.

Kinoko no Yama uses Uji matcha — the variety from Kyoto Prefecture that has defined Japanese green tea culture for centuries, known for its assertive bitterness and the aromatic depth that comes from careful shading and stone-grinding.

Applied to the cracker-based Kinoko no Yama, the Uji matcha chocolate delivers a pronounced, slightly complex flavor that sits against the cracker’s light saltiness and holds its own.

Takenoko no Sato uses Nishio matcha — from Aichi Prefecture, one of Japan’s oldest tea regions, where the character of the leaf tends toward mellow, rounded umami rather than outright bitterness.

On the richer, egg-and-almond cookie base of Takenoko no Sato, the Nishio matcha works differently: softer at the front, more gradual in its development, integrating with the cookie’s sweetness rather than contrasting it.

The two are genuinely distinct once you eat them side by side, which is precisely the point.

The bag contains four packs of each — eight total, individually wrapped in single-serve portions that make sharing and comparing easy.

A natural gift for anyone interested in Japanese tea culture, Japanese snack culture, or the question of which side they’re on.
