Why Kurōbā?

When we started Japan Matcha PH during the uncertain days of the 2020 pandemic, we needed more than just passion — we needed hope. Facing financial burdens and balancing the demands of school and family, that hope became our guiding light. We never thought that until today, we would still be sharing our love for matcha with you.

The clover, often known as a symbol of luck, became much more than that for us. It’s a reminder of the hope that kept our family going when everything felt uncertain. Just like how a tiny clover leaf can thrive even in tough fields, our journey began with faith that no matter the hardships, things would eventually fall into place.

Every time you see the clover leaf on our products, we want you to feel that same hope — that with patience and perseverance, brighter days are just around the corner. It’s a symbol of resilience, family, and the beautiful future we’re all working towards, one cup of matcha at a time.

Handmade Chawan — Please note that each piece is unique, and the item you receive may differ slightly from the photos shown.

(Partner: Mysa Clay)

I began my pottery journey in February 2022. My eldest sister had always encouraged me to try making ceramics—we’ve actually been reselling ceramics online since 2020. During the pandemic, with more time spent at home, I decided to take an online handbuilding class just to see if I would enjoy it.

I found the experience incredibly fulfilling. In that first class, I created a mug and saucer set, a flower figurine, and a bowl. Eager to learn more, I enrolled in a seven-session basic wheel-throwing course the following week.

Pottery quickly became a therapeutic outlet for me—though admittedly, a rather expensive one. My love for the craft grew, and I eventually invested in my own pottery tools and materials so I could continue practicing at home.

Since then, I’ve found myself constantly inspired to design my own mugs. Whenever an idea comes to mind, I sketch it in my notebook for future reference. I also regularly research techniques to improve my skills, particularly when it comes to centering clay, which I initially struggled with.

In August 2023, I officially launched my first collection and was grateful for the opportunity to share my work with those who have supported me along the way.
