Harvested from the first flush of tender, shade-grown leaves and stone-milled with care, this cultivar is celebrated for its vivid color and refined balance.

On the palate, Saemidori unfolds with a smooth, creamy texture, offering gentle sweetness, layered vegetal tones, and a lingering umami finish. Its vibrant character makes it equally captivating in the quiet rituals of traditional preparation or the elegance of modern matcha creations.
