Yoshi Matcha Liqueur 750ml

Yoshi set out to define an entirely new category of spirit, and by most accounts, it's done exactly that — a genuine first-of-its-kind matcha liqueur. Everything starts with the powder itself: ceremonial-grade, organic matcha sourced directly from Uji, Japan, widely considered the birthplace of matcha, and roughly the same quality of powder. Each bottle carries approximately 5 grams of that matcha, suspended in a genuinely novel formulation built on a dairy-free oat milk base combined with a premium neutral grain spirit — a real technical achievement, since matcha is notoriously difficult to keep stable and smooth in a shelf-stable liquid without separation or gritty texture. The result is dairy-free, gluten-free, and vegan, with a naturally lower ABV that makes it genuinely versatile — sip it straight over ice for a creamy, earthy pour, or shake it into cocktails like martinis, margaritas, and rum coladas, where its vivid green color and genuine matcha character can really shine. It even carries a small amount of natural caffeine, giving it a more balanced, gentler lift than its buzzier espresso-martini counterpart. Tasting notes describe "fresh green tea, grassy notes, and light creaminess" on the nose, developing into "smooth matcha, subtle sweetness, soft herbal bitterness, and a creamy texture" on the palate, closing "clean and slightly dry with lingering green tea and gentle sweetness." Parade Magazine's independent review offered a genuinely honest, balanced take after testing it in a matcha martini: "I don't think the taste is for everyone, neither is matcha. So if you're someone who likes ground-up green tea leaf powder, then this might be worth a shot for you... if you're someone who loves matcha and sweet matcha lattes — basically, you know what to expect in regards to taste — and you're looking for a similar cocktail to an espresso martini, then a matcha martini with the Yoshi Matcha Liqueur is going to be right up your alley." One enthusiastic customer review put it simply: "reminded me of a boozy matcha latte. My friends all love this because it's low ABV and sips so well on ice or in cocktails. We drizzled it on dessert too!" This is genuinely novel, well-crafted liqueur — built specifically for the growing matcha-obsessed crowd looking for their next cocktail category.

Critics Reviews No formal numerical critic score is confirmed for this product at this time. Alani Vargas, Parade Magazine (extended independent review): "Yoshi's matcha liqueur is a new product that takes most of the work out of creating an alcoholic matcha-based beverage. While I don't think the taste is for everyone, neither is matcha. So if you're someone who likes ground-up green tea leaf powder, then this might be worth a shot for you. Overall, if you're someone who loves matcha and sweet matcha lattes — basically, you know what to expect in regards to taste — and you're looking for a similar cocktail to an espresso martini, then a matcha martini with the Yoshi Matcha Liqueur is going to be right up your alley." Curiada customer review (Jolene): "Reminded me of a boozy matcha latte. My friends all love this because it's low ABV and sips so well on ice or in cocktails. We drizzled it on dessert too!
