SAMIDORI（さみどり）

A Kyoto cultivar known for composure and balance, expressed here with clarity and restraint. Rather than intensity, the focus lies in precision, softness, and quiet structure.

First harvest leaves retain natural sweetness and a gentle, rounded umami. The profile opens with notes of kombu dashi and young asparagus, supported by a subtle hazelnut undertone and a soft buttery sweetness.

The texture is smooth and cohesive, carrying evenly across the palate. The finish remains clean and understated, with a restrained elegance that lingers without weight.
