Saemidori vs Other Cultivars * Sweeter Profile: Compared to Tsuyuhikari, Seimei, Okumidori, and Kanayamidori, Saemidori has a richer and sweeter flavour with less bitterness, ideal for those who prefer a more indulgent matcha. * More Creamy: Unlike most of other cultivars, Saemidori stands out for its rich, creamy texture and pronounced sweetness. That said, proper whisking is essential for achieving a creamy froth. * Umami Richness: Saemidori features a high umami taste, more pronounced than Tsuyuhikari and Seimei. Okumidori also has a balanced umami, but Saemidori’s umami is slightly more pronounced. Compared to Kanayamidori, Saemidori's umami is smoother and less intense, providing a fuller-bodied and more savoury matcha experience. Note: This comparison is based on general perceptions and can vary depending on individual taste preferences.
