Overview
Best pick • solid green choice from Unknown origin
Pairing: sushi, steamed vegetables, or citrusy salads
This organic offering was grown using the Saemidori cultivar in Kagoshima prefecture, located on the island of Kyushu. Both the leaf and cup have a deep, dark green color and heady, rich aroma. The exquisite liquor has sweet, vegetal notes, a brothy mouth feel and pleasing, light astringency. The leaves are typical of the Fukamushi (deep steam) style, with both larger and small leaf pieces.
