8.5 / 10

Nutty profile, more interesting than expected

Ogurayama leans a little nutty, some chocolate-adjacent depth in the aroma. As a latte it stays present rather than getting buried. Slight earthiness on the finish that I like. I prefer it with a splash of whole milk over oat. The fat seems to bring the chocolate notes out more clearly. Solid premium pick.

Earthy and a little surprising 🌱

I usually stick to Marukyu but a friend gifted me a tin of Ogurayama and it really opened my eyes to Yamamasa. There's a slightly nori/seaweed note in the aroma which I didn't expect from Uji. Some chocolate-y depth too?? It's interesting and I like it. Better as usucha for me, lattes muted that interesting earthy thing too much 💚
