help Suntory Iyemon FAQ
What is Suntory Iyemon in Japan?
Iyemon is a Japanese bottled green tea brand from Suntory. It was launched in 2004 in collaboration with the Kyoto tea company Fukujuen.
Is Iyemon sweetened like many bottled iced teas in the US?
The standard Iyemon green tea is generally sold as unsweetened Japanese tea. That makes it closer to Ito En Oi Ocha than to sweetened lemon iced tea.
Why is the name Iyemon associated with Kyoto tea?
The name comes from the Ieemon line associated with Fukujuen, a Kyoto tea company with roots in the late 18th century. Suntory uses that heritage in the brand's positioning.
Are there different Iyemon versions besides the regular green tea?
Yes. Suntory has sold variants such as Iyemon Tokucha and seasonal or blend-based Iyemon products in Japan, alongside the standard bottled green tea.
