"020 Saemidori," with its rich umami reminiscent of nori seaweed and its blue aroma, pairs perfectly with Japanese sweets. The refreshing scent of kashiwa mochi and the sweetness of anko create an especially well-balanced combination.
For the first infusion, we extract at a low temperature to achieve a soft flavor and mouthfeel. For the second and third infusions, we slightly raise the temperature to enhance the aroma while maintaining a crisp taste, then blend them together.
