"017 Fujieda Kaori" is characterized by its jasmine-like aroma. With just one sip, a refreshing taste and floral fragrance spread throughout your mouth. When pairing it with dishes that have strong flavors, such as deep-fried eggplant in dashi, it's recommended to brew it slightly stronger to match the intensity. This brings out a pleasant bitterness along with the satisfying astringency typical of sencha.
