Yugen Kyoto sells four numbered Uji matcha grades from its own shop. Prices, what was sold out, and how to get a restock alert. Not Marukyu's Yugen.

A Yugen Kyoto restock is a grade reappearing on the shop's own online store after it sold out. Yugen Kyoto is a small independent shop that opened in 2018 in a renovated building near the Kyoto Imperial Palace, with a tea room and craft gallery above. It sells its own blended Uji matcha in four numbered grades rather than the output of a single historic house, so stock depends on its own blending runs. These notes come from the shop's matcha page on October 10, 2026.

Is Yugen Kyoto the same as Marukyu Koyamaen's Yugen?

No, and the name overlap causes real confusion in search results. Yugen Kyoto is an independent shop, while Yugen is a grade sold by Marukyu Koyamaen. They are separate companies with separate shops and prices. If you want the Marukyu grade, see how to catch a Marukyu Koyamaen restock. For this shop's own history and grade descriptions, read our Yugen Kyoto guide, which also lists tasting notes.

What does Yugen Kyoto matcha cost, and what is in stock?

The shop lists four numbered Uji blends plus one limited single origin. On October 10, 2026 the prices started at ¥1,991 for #0, ¥2,917 for #1, ¥4,723 for #2 and ¥9,167 for #3, shown as "from" prices because the page does not state the can size. Tsujiki Goko, a single-origin 20 g tin at ¥5,741, was sold out, as were two matcha brewing kits at ¥15,046 and from ¥14,319. The numbered grades carried no sold-out label.

Does Yugen Kyoto restock on a schedule?

Not one it publishes. The page announces "Matcha Now Available!" and the shop gives no dates, so a sold-out limited item returns whenever the shop decides. Demand for Japanese matcha has risen across the board during the shortage, as NBC News reported, which keeps stock tight on small-batch lines.

Which Yugen Kyoto grade should you alert for?

For daily use, alert on #1, the ceremonial usucha grade from ¥2,917, which sits in the middle of the range. For lattes, #0 at ¥1,991 is the cheap entry point. If you want the hand-picked grades, #2 and #3, set alerts early, as higher grades tend to be smaller batches. If Tsujiki Goko is your target, alert on that exact product, since it was the one item sold out among the matcha.

How do you catch a Yugen Kyoto restock?

Check the shop's country selector and delivery policy for your country before relying on it, because the matcha page does not list shipping terms. Then let an alert watch the product pages. Matcha Alert Club tracks Yugen Kyoto's matcha collection and posts the product, price and link to our Discord when a tracked grade is available again, with email, Telegram and web push as options. Keep an account with saved details so checkout is fast. Live status is on the Yugen Kyoto brand page.

FAQ

Is Yugen Kyoto the same as Marukyu Koyamaen Yugen?

No. Yugen Kyoto is an independent tea shop that opened in 2018, while Yugen is also the name of a matcha grade made by Marukyu Koyamaen, an unrelated Uji house. When you search for stock, use the full shop name, because results for the Marukyu grade will show a different company's tins, prices and restock rules.

Does Yugen Kyoto ship matcha internationally?

Its online store has a country selector offering many countries and currencies, including Japan in yen and the United States in dollars, but the matcha page does not list which countries are served or the shipping rates. Check the delivery policy linked in the shop footer, and the checkout, before you plan an international order.

Why is Tsujiki Goko sold out?

Tsujiki Goko is a limited single-origin matcha at ¥5,741 for 20 g, and it showed as sold out on October 10, 2026. Limited single-origin releases tend to sell through, and Yugen Kyoto states no restock date, so the realistic route is an alert on the product page rather than waiting for an announcement.

Which Yugen Kyoto matcha grade should I start with?

Start with #1, the ceremonial usucha grade from ¥2,917, if you whisk tea in a bowl, or #0 from ¥1,991 for lattes. #2 and #3 are hand-picked grades aimed at koicha and special occasions. Prices are in yen, so the dollar cost moves with the exchange rate.

How much does Yugen Kyoto matcha cost per gram?

In September 2026 the 30 g tins worked out to roughly $0.47 to $2.07 per gram across #0 to #3 in our earlier price check. Prices on the shop page on October 10 start at ¥1,991 for #0 and ¥9,167 for #3 without stating the size, so compare per-gram cost at checkout.
