Shizuoka Saeakari: Sweet and Soft, But Pricey for What It Is
Saeakari is a cultivar I hadn't experienced much before this tin from Rocky's. At 2.2g in 3oz at 176F, this one leans noticeably sweet with a gentle, well-balanced finish. Umami is there, though it's soft rather than savory, and the bitterness is basically absent, which will suit a lot of people but leaves me wanting a little more edge. Honestly the flavor profile here is pleasant and approachable, maybe even a bit plain for my taste, and at $1.40 per gram that's a tough ask for a daily. If you're after a gentle, sweet ceremonial that's easy to drink and happens to come from outside Uji orbit, Saeakari is worth a try, but I'd want to see this closer to a dollar per gram if I were to buy more.
