Thanks to the freeze-drying process, it dissolves quickly even without a whisk.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis freeze-dried matcha uses 100% selected domestic organic matcha and employs freeze-drying technology to reduce moisture content to about 1%. It’s less prone to deterioration compared to powdered matcha and is easier to handle, expanding its usability. Because there are no added sugars, milk, or sweeteners, you can truly savor the original flavor of matcha.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFreeze-drying is a method that preserves the taste, aroma, and nutritional value of food as they are. This technique involves freezing the food and placing it under vacuum to sublimate and dry out the moisture. Unlike other drying methods that use high temperatures to evaporate moisture, freeze-drying helps retain the food’s flavors, aromas, and nutrients.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe advantages of freeze-drying! Unlike common drying methods that apply high temperatures directly to food, freeze-drying utilizes physical phenomena through vacuuming, allowing for minimal heat to be indirectly conveyed to dry the food. As a result, it’s less likely to destroy the food’s components and makes it easier to retain the quality of the ingredients.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEasy preparation with just hot water! One of the major features of freeze-drying is its convenience; it can be made instantly by simply pouring in hot water. As mentioned in the mechanism of freeze-drying, since moisture is sublimated from ice during the manufacturing process, ample space is left where the ice once was. When hot water is added, it quickly fills this space, allowing the product to return to its original state swiftly and easily.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFlavor, aroma, and nutritional value are retained! Excessive heat can transform enjoyable substances into unpleasant ones or eliminate them altogether. For this reason, freeze-drying technology is often employed for drying beverages like coffee, tea, and green tea, which respect the flavor without applying high temperatures. Additionally, unlike drying with high heat, freeze-drying minimizes the loss of heat-sensitive vitamins, preserving nutritional value as much as possible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlease note the following points\u003cbr\u003eProduct descriptions and instructions are written in Japanese.\u003cbr\u003eProducts marked as shipped in the system cannot be cancelled.
