Yame No Nagomi offers a medium to thin mouthfeel with a short, gentle finish that settles softly on the palate. A touch of astringency appears at the start but blends smoothly into its medium umami character, giving the cup a calm and balanced presence.
The flavor opens with warm vegetal notes of cooked spinach, edamame, parsley, and buttered green beans, creating a comforting and familiar green profile. Hints of hazelnut bring a mild nutty warmth, while vanilla and delicate elderflower add a subtle floral sweetness that lifts the cup. Creamy tones reminiscent of panna cotta give the matcha a soft, dessert-like roundness. A faint smokiness lingers in the background, adding a gentle depth without overwhelming the lighter elements.
The result is a smooth, comforting matcha with a delicate balance of greens, soft sweetness, and a quietly smoky finish.
