Umami

Overview

Tip: brew 4g in just 50ml at 70°C for intense umami, or eat the dumplings as a chewy snack.

Pairings: aged cheese, seaweed snacks, miso soup.

A unique byproduct of the gyokuro rolling process, these dense ‘dumplings’ (団子 - dango) of leaves are filled with umami and can be enjoyed brewed like gyokuro, cold-brewed, or simply eaten as they are.
