Subtle asamushi with a clean mellow taste. Has a sweet grassy fragrance and very little bitterness.
Excellent genmaicha

Beautiful color, and nice balance between rice and tea flavor. Bigger bag than I expected, too.

With similar responses to those before, I found the spring shincha 'Kirameki' to be a very high quality, and with the release of the 'Ujibashi San no Ma', the quality continues. The taste is refreshing, elegant and sweet, not at all bitter.

The shincha version (Kirameki) was my favorite shincha of 2008. The sencha version carries on the legacy. Wonderful and grassy aroma that lingers in the mouth. It is high priced, but worth every cent.

I had the last two years the shincha version of this light steamed (asamushi) sencha and I am now happy to be able to buy this sencha during the whole year.
Easy to brew, nice flavor and a very good value: its price is indeed quite high, but the quality is up there.

This is a grassy sencha that isn't overpowering -- and very elegant.

If you're looking for a sencha with real elegance, this is the one. The flavor has many nuances. Beautiful tea.

I must say once again, that the customer service is second to none! I placed my pre-order for the Shiboridash and the Houhin tea sets with accoutrements and as soon as they came in, I received them in no time. Furthermore, the quality, is exceptional as well. I am so glad that I found this site since I am highly into green tea. A wonderful shopping experience.

Thank you so much Kevin!

I don't have a scale yet so I used a rounded tsp to 8 oz of water. Got 4 infusions from this and each was very very good. Would like to try some of the others to see how they compare to this one. Couldn't believe how quickly this shipped!!
