All Reviews of Kirin Namacha

If you like picking up a refreshing bottled tea while traveling independently in Japan, KIRIN Namacha is a great choice. Especially on a blazing hot summer day, when you're parched, you can just walk into a convenience store or use a street vending machine, twist open the bottle, and take a sip. That instantly refreshing feeling is really satisfying.

This tea is not only very refreshing and thirst-quenching, but it also isn't bitter or astringent at all. Its natural tea aroma and smooth taste make it a good choice for anyone who normally enjoys tea. Whenever I travel to Japan, I always keep a bottle in my bag as a handy way to stay hydrated.

It’s especially refreshing when served cold. After getting tired from walking around and shopping, one bottle makes me feel completely revived! I really like its subtle tea aroma and slightly sweet aftertaste. It goes well with rice balls, bento, or Japanese snacks. No wonder I can’t resist picking up another bottle whenever I see it at a convenience store in Japan!

A green tea I personally really like. It tastes refreshing, without any overly noticeable bitterness or an excessively strong tea flavor. It goes down smoothly, with a slightly sweet aftertaste. It's very good with wagashi, and the fresh tea aroma also balances out the sweetness. It's also available in Taiwan and isn't hard to find at convenience stores, making it convenient when you want Japanese-style green tea. The other sencha in the red packaging has a somewhat richer tea flavor by comparison, but is still very easy to drink. You can choose based on your personal preference.
