I drink Koyama-en Chigi no Shiro in the morning. I've only tried usu-cha so far, haven't branched out to any thick matcha yet. Lately I've noticed some restaurants incorporating matcha powder as a garnish in their desserts. I wanted to put some on some sorbet, but now i'm hesitant to try it because one time i was smelling the tea and accidentally snorted some matcha powder off the hishaku - it was quite the coughing fit. But i guess there's different styles of matcha powder. Anyone know the difference between matcha used in food and matcha used for drinking tea?

thanks jogu, i'll check cryano out too. i currently have graham elliot, cryano and Moto or L2O on my list of chicago spots. between L2O and Moto, which should i blow my load on?
Also, any recommendations on cheaper dining spots would be great, (like xoco) this is turning out to be an expensive trip on food alone

Only higher grades are used for the koi-cha which is made with a lot of powder and only little water. I personally wouldn´t recommend to drink any matcha under € 25 per 30g...

^ although I am no expert but I can second that.
I once did Matcha icecream with some random matcha and then I tried to make tea out of it and it tasted horrible.
The Keiko matcha I currently use costs around 25€ / 30g and I really like it. Although, of course, I have no comparison to the first class.

^ In fact, I am from the EU
Not sure this is an japanese 'brand' (no matter the origin).
You may want to contact them, as they suggest here
I think the product I have is Macha Premium.

Maybe you can help me regarding the preparation: I am getting "better" as the foam is now getting thicker, but somehow, a little bit of the tea is not resolving, resulting in some small crumbs.
(I am sorry if my english is unclear ... it's really hard describing perceptual phenomena in a foreign language )

^last week i tried some matcha at a local tea house that sells keiko products. in addition to the hot water i received a small pot with cold water.
i was told to pour a little cold water over the matcha first and then i had to "pre-stir" it. in matters of the dissolubility it worked fine for me so you could give it a try.

But you are not using the whisk to pre-stir it, do you? A regular spoon?
