Tried it with no sweetener. I could taste more of the umami (and the nuttiness?? I’m not so sure how ‘nutty’ is supposed to taste like lol). Still no bitterness. Very balanced. Medium bodied. Layers easily even though i did not do a very good job whisking it into a microfoam today haha
I have three on my to-try list:
- YK Ogurayama
- YK Shikibu no Mukashi
- MK Chigi No Shiro
Which one should I get?
I have tried MK Wako and Yugen and tbh, I found them a bit light. I think I like my matcha strong, full bodied, with a little bit of bitterness. For reference I liked Gokago Shin.
I’m leaning towards YK, though a bit skeptical, as reviews describe it as seaweedy/fishy. I’m not sure if I like that but some say it’s just the umami. And then for Shikibu, I’ve read somewhere that the matcha flavor disappears in latte form? Is it true?
I’m thinking Chigi No Shiro might just taste very similar to Yugen and Wako.
Pls help me out! The resale price is so steep I can’t buy everything (ಥ﹏ಥ)
