An absolute umami-bomb, this Samidori is rich, round, and long in the finish. Silky in texture and smooth on the palette, Samidori’s subtle sweetness brightens as it balances the bold umami for which the cultivar is known.
A fresh and green avocado aroma is accompanied by hints of floral and herbaceous notes. Creamy and without bitterness, this Samidori is as elegant as it is approachable—a perfect expression of Wazuka’s high-mountain terroir and the greater Uji region’s masterful matcha cultivation.
