1. The Highest Grade in the Azayaka DY Series
DY4 is positioned at the top of the Azayaka DY Series for customers seeking the most refined matcha experience within the collection. Compared with DY3 Premium Ceremonial Grade Matcha, DY4 places greater emphasis on sensory refinement, aroma, texture, flavor depth, and the overall experience of drinking matcha on its own.
While DY3 offers a balance between premium ceremonial characteristics and commercial flexibility, DY4 is intended for applications where premium matcha quality is the central selling point.
2. A Refined Sensory Experience
DY4 is crafted for those who appreciate the character of matcha when it is enjoyed on its own. Its vibrant emerald color, refined aroma, silky texture, deep umami, natural sweetness, and clean finish come together to create a balanced and sophisticated drinking experience.
Aroma
Refined and delicate, with a clean aromatic character.
Texture
Silky and smooth, with a refined mouthfeel when whisked and served directly.
Flavor
Deep umami balanced by natural sweetness and a clean lingering finish.
3. Designed for Traditional Matcha Preparation
DY4 is particularly well suited to traditional matcha preparation, where aroma, flavor, texture, color, and finish can be experienced directly.
For tea professionals and premium matcha businesses, DY4 can be prepared with a bamboo whisk and served as a straight matcha or incorporated into carefully developed premium beverages where the quality of the matcha remains prominent.
Its refined sensory characteristics also make it suitable for premium tasting experiences, tea presentations, and curated matcha menus.
4. Premium Applications for DY4

Specialty Cafés
Premium matcha lattes, beverages, and signature drinks.
Luxury Hospitality
High-quality matcha for hotels, resorts, and premium foodservice.

5. DY4 vs. DY3 Premium Ceremonial Matcha
DY3 and DY4 are both premium ceremonial-grade products within the Azayaka DY Series, but they are designed for different commercial purposes.
| DY3 Premium Ceremonial | Balanced premium quality, vibrant color, rich umami, smooth texture, and greater commercial flexibility for specialty cafés and premium beverage applications. |
| DY4 Superior Ceremonial | Higher sensory refinement with a silky texture, refined aroma, deep umami, natural sweetness, and clean finish for premium tea experiences and high-end applications. |
Choose DY3 when commercial flexibility and premium beverage applications are the priority. Choose DY4 when the matcha itself is intended to be the centerpiece of a premium tea experience.
