Overview
Pairing: shortbread, fresh fruit, or mild cheeses
This classic sencha from the snowy north of Japan has a crisp brightness, structured texture, and a refreshing, cooling finish. Brewing hotter brings out more structure and astringency while lower temperatures extract more sweetness. Koshi-no-Sato (越乃里) translates to the Village of Koshi. Koshi Province was an old region which includes present-day Niigata, Toyama, Ishikawa, and Fukui Prefectures.
