All Reviews of Kirin Namacha

A green tea I personally really like. It tastes refreshing, without any overly noticeable bitterness or an excessively strong tea flavor. It goes down smoothly, with a slightly sweet aftertaste. It's very good with wagashi, and the fresh tea aroma also balances out the sweetness. It's also available in Taiwan and isn't hard to find at convenience stores, making it convenient when you want Japanese-style green tea. The other sencha in the red packaging has a somewhat richer tea flavor by comparison, but is still very easy to drink. You can choose based on your personal preference.

You can now find KIRIN Namacha in supermarkets in Taiwan, so I bought one to try this time! The first sip was very refreshing, with a natural tea aroma and no overly strong bitterness. It's especially pleasant when served cold.

I really like its subtle tea leaf aroma and smooth taste. It isn't overly sweet, and a bottle after ramen or yakiniku, or when you're tired from walking around, is just right for cleansing the palate and quenching your thirst.
