Refined and well-balanced umami and sharpness. A wonderful balance of sweetness and astringency that brings an inadvertent smile to your lips. This brand is ideal for newcomers to Ippodo sencha. During breaks at work or when taking time to rest when you’re a little tired. It’ll perk you up for another push onwards. It goes well with the firm kind of yokan (red bean jelly) as well as the soft kind, mizuyokan, that melts in your mouth. The first tea Ippodo brings out is always Hosen. With Hosen, you can be sure that it will taste good.
