VERY LIMITED PRODUCTION

Single cultivar sencha, kirari 31 from Sayama by the 15th generation Okutomi family, hand picked and processed on the 24th April 2024. Kirari 31 is a crossbred between two cultivars - sakimidori and saemidori. A decent umami and vegetal profile considering it is processed as sencha (this cultivar is quite popular as a gyokuro cultivar in other regions like Yame). Absolute joy to eat the leaves after three infusions, recommended to try a little bit on its own as well as with yuzu ponzu!
