The Chiran fields face the Pacific — sea wind, volcanic ash and an early spring. Deep-steaming for 90 seconds breaks the leaf open: the liquor is cloudy jade, with a thick mouthfeel, savoury seaweed up front, and a long, salt-air finish.
A daily-drinker that punches above its grade — three steeps from the same leaves, each one different.

From the Sakamoto family fields above Chiran, harvested on the morning of 16 April 2026, two weeks earlier than the Kyoto lots. Deep-steamed at the village cooperative the same afternoon and packed in Kyoto a week later.
