nōkō (濃厚) in japanese is often used to describe something rich, intense, or deeply concentrated. this is emeri’s boldest matcha sourced to date, crafted for enthusiasts who appreciate a prominent presence in every sip.

grown in minamikyushu, kagoshima, nōkō benefits from southern japan’s volcanic soil, long sunlight hours, and mineral-dense terrain. these growing conditions produce leaves with remarkable depth and structure. the result is a concentrated, nutty profile with a punchy, lingering finish.

intensely expressive and full-bodied, nōkō delivers a commanding usucha and stands confidently in a latte without losing its character. a deep nuttiness anchors the cup, followed by a pleasantly brisk, gently puckering sensation that allows the intensity to linger gracefully on the palate.

this is a matcha for those who gravitate toward bolder flavors and a more full-bodied experience.
