{"product_id":"kyoto-uji-matcha-paste","title":"Kyoto Uji Matcha Paste","description":"\u003cp\u003eUji matcha in paste form — holds its green through baking and hot holding. No added color. No sifting, no separate slurry, no whisking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eDry matcha can lose its bright green under prolonged heat. The color goes dull in the oven and flat under extended hot holding, and in commercial baking and production, added color is sometimes used to compensate. This paste is made to carry its color through that heat with no added colorant of any kind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe stability comes from how it is made. Uji matcha is softened, milled, blended with water, then heat-concentrated into a paste and sterilized. That process sets the natural color, so the green holds through the heat applied later. No colorant, no emulsifier, no preservative. Vegan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIn production the paste removes steps. There is no sifting and no separate slurry to make — it blends directly into batter, cream, custard, or liquid, and the dose stays consistent batch to batch, which dry powder rarely manages once static and clumping enter the picture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIt is stable in storage as well. Filled hot and sterilized in the sealed pouch, it ships and holds at room temperature unopened; refrigeration is recommended once opened, since matcha loses color and aroma faster after exposure to air. Color resists light, and component degradation is minimal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eDose by weight against the finished batch rather than by scoop. It is not a one-for-one swap for dry powder, so run a small test batch first and adjust to the color and flavor you want in the finished product.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The House of Umami","offers":[{"title":"1-Pack | 3.5 oz (100g)","offer_id":54538553196862,"sku":"H6KRB01A","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Bundle of 2 | 3.5 oz (100g) each","offer_id":54538553262398,"sku":"H6KRB01A-2","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1-Pack | 35.3 oz (1kg)","offer_id":54538553229630,"sku":"H6KRB01B","price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Bundle of 6 | 35.3 oz (1kg) each","offer_id":54538553295166,"sku":"H6KRB01B-6","price":1080.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0821\/3240\/2494\/files\/kyoto-uji-matcha-paste-thehouseofumami-100g.jpg?v=1790903595","url":"https:\/\/thehouseofumami.com\/products\/kyoto-uji-matcha-paste","provider":"The House of Umami","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
