かりがね茶 Karigane-Cha with set meal
Review: The menu says かりがね茶 Karigane-Cha comes from the stem of Uji-Cha with "wild bitter taste and distinctive lush new fragrance." I was not sure about the wild bitter taste part, but maybe a little (due to it being taken from the stem of the Uji-Cha). I suppose lush new fragrance is a good description. But I like the Uji-Cha better which has more distinctive tea taste.
Karigane is made from parts of Gyokuro and Sencha (stems, leaves and powder) that are sorted during the manufacturing process. Since かりがね Karigane (茎茶Kukicha) is sorted from high grade 煎茶 Sencha, it is less expensive than the tea leaves of those main products. It is said of an excellent value as it has a better flavor than tea leaves of the same price range.
I re-filled the tea-pot so it was 4 cups of hot tea, very nice indeed.
