"035 Sakimidori Sonogi", known for its sharp bitterness, has a stronger umami and milder flavor this year.
We paired it with "Houri", a domestic pineapple cake incorporating Tottori's famous pears. The fresh sweetness and acidity bring out the moderate bitterness of the sencha. Please enjoy the exquisite balance of flavors, including umami and astringency.
