Got my beginner’s sample kit today and this was the first thing I went for. It smells amazing in the cup, a little like toasted sesame. I haven’t encountered toasted rice before but it’s a great smell and taste.
Unlike other greens I’ve tried, this isn’t grassy at all. It’s sweet and toasty at the same time. I didn’t think it was possible, but I’m really happy with it. There’s one other genmaicha in the box and I’m excited to try that one! I might turn into a green tea fan yet.
