Est. 2018 — Tsukiji-jogai, Tokyo
MARUNI
丸仁
Single-origin matcha, on Tsukiji jogai.
Since 2018.
Fig.02 —House tin, 30 g
Three matcha grades.
One quiet counter.
Maruni serves ceremonial-, premium-, and latte-grade matcha sourced directly from growers in Uji, Kyoto, and Mie. Each bowl is whisked to order at a single counter on the edge of Tsukiji's outer market.
"Nori shops have long quietly sold tea — shared cold, dark storage."

宇治
From three regions, by name.
Ceremonial grades from Uji, daily blends from elsewhere in Kyoto, latte-grade leaf from Mie. We list grower, region, and harvest year on every tin — the same transparency the parent house has applied to nori for a century.
Six frames from the counter. No two days repeat.
