An absolute highlight and one of our best sellering Senchas. Extremely clear in taste, without a hint of bitterness and an absolute umami bomb. Friends of lots of Umami and a fruity sweetness get their money's worth here.
This year, we are offering two different cultivars:
Okumidori is slightly lighter and sweeter with subtle vegetal notes.
Yabukita is more intense and powerful with a strong umami flavor.
