Origin: Kyoto Prefecture, Japan
An exceptionally pleasant and mild matcha with a naturally sweet, creamy character. Fuller-bodied than Samidori, it offers a rich, rounded mouthfeel while maintaining a light, lingering finish. For the best balance, prepare with water at 80–85°C, as lower temperatures may bring out more pronounced astringent flavours.
The meaning of Yomo no Kaori 「四方の薫」
Yomo (四方) means “from all directions”, encompassing north, south, east and west, as well as every side around us. Kaori (薫) refers to a pleasant fragrance or aroma. Together, Yomo no Kaori creates the image of a beautiful fragrance gently drifting in from all directions.
