-
Asahi is one of Uji’s rarest and most prized cultivars. Native to Uji, Kyoto, it yields a limited harvest each year, with its short harvest window making it difficult to cultivate.
- Carefully handpicked once a year in spring, the young first-harvest leaves are slowly stone-milled to preserve their delicate flavours.
- Single cultivar Asahi, cultivated under traditional tana shading by Heritage Farm II in Uji, Kyoto.
