A soft-baked cookie with matcha worked into the dough, chocolate chips and a little sweet white bean paste in the middle, twelve to a bag and each one wrapped. It tastes clearly of green tea, with a gentle bitterness. Buy it if you want a soft cookie that tastes of matcha; if you want matcha that is properly bitter, this is the wrong cookie.
On the pack: カントリーマアム お濃い抹茶 (kan-tree mah-am, oh-koy mat-cha), with RICH MATCHA in English underneath.
To warm them, take them out of their wrappers first, and don't cover them with cling film.
For your safety, please check both the information on this page and the printed label on the pack. If anything is unclear or the information differs, please contact us before consuming the product.

Good to know
In their own words
The matcha really comes through in the smell. Delicious.
抹茶がしっかり香って美味しい
from monolog, a Japanese review site
It said "rich matcha", so I expected it to be really strong. It wasn't as strong as I thought, and not to my taste.
“お濃い抹茶”と書かれてたので、どれだけ濃いのかと期待していたのですが、思った程ではなく、私好みではありませんでした。
from monolog
Faintly bitter, crisp outside and moist and chewy inside. The chips are dark chocolate, and they don't get in the matcha's way.
ほんのり苦味があり、外側はサクッと中はしっとりねっちりとしています、チョコチップはビターチョコでサクッとしていてチョコの味が強すぎず抹茶の味を邪魔していません🍫👍🏻
from mognavi, a Japanese food and drink review site
They've got a lot smaller.
随分小柄になられた。
from mognavi
Strong matcha overall, but bitter only enough that people who don't like bitter things can eat it. Very good.
全体的に抹茶が強めで苦いのが苦手な人でも食べられるくらいの苦味で、とても美味しかったです🍵
from mognavi
I like a more bitter matcha, so it felt a bit lacking there, but as a sweet it tasted very good.
わたしはもっと苦味もある抹茶が好きなのでそこは物足りない気もしましたが、お菓子としてはとてもおいしいお味でした💭
from mognavi
There's white bean paste in the filling, so the matcha tastes mellow.
中のフィリングは白あん入りなので、まろやかさを感じる抹茶味。
from mognavi
It smells of a chemical, leafy matcha, and tastes the same.
香りはケミカルかつ葉っぱっぽい抹茶でお味も同様。
from mognavi
Good as it is, but one warmed for 10 seconds in the microwave goes moist and rich. That's how I like it.
そのままでも美味しかったけど、1個10秒チンしたほんのりあったかマアムはしっとり濃厚で私はこっち派。
from mognavi
Honestly, it isn't as strong as "rich" suggests, but it's not too sweet, and it was tasty.
正直「お濃い」というほどの濃さはないけど、甘さ控えめで美味しかった。
from mognavi
Maybe because I'd chilled it well, it was soft and dense.
しっかり冷やしていたからか、ソフトでぎゅっと詰まった食感を楽しめた。
from mognavi
When I ate it there was no bitterness: sweet and mellow, a little like gyokuro, a smooth shaded green tea.
食べてみると苦味はなく、甘くてまろやかで少し玉露のような感じ。
from mognavi
The matcha's bitterness and the just-right sweetness go together nicely.
抹茶の苦味と程良い甘さがマッチして丁度良い感じです😍
from monolog
The Country Ma'am matcha editions of the last two or three years weren't very bitter; this one has a little bitterness.
ここ2、3年のものは、あまり苦みを感じない商品だったけれど、今回は若干苦みあり。
from mognavi
Good for matcha lovers, I think.
抹茶好きには良いと思います。

The maker
Country Ma'am is Fujiya's soft cookie, modelled on the freshly baked cookies popular in America in the 1970s and 80s. Each one is made from two different doughs baked slowly at a low heat, so the outside crisps while the middle stays moist, and the recipe has been improved more than 40 times since it first went on sale.
This matcha edition uses tea from Kagoshima in southern Japan, supplied by Ikeda Seicha, a tea merchant.
