I tried drinking the new product 'Nama-cha Hoji Sencha' for the first time in 5 years.

Following the

renewal in March 2020, Kirin's 'Nama-cha', which celebrated its 20th anniversary since its appearance, will be joined by a new product ' Nama-cha Hoji Sencha ' for the first time in five years. I actually drank 'Hojicha', which has been attracting attention since around 2019, to see what kind of product the Nama-cha brand will send out.

New release of 'Kirin Nama-cha Hoji Sencha'! (Released on September 15)

The label is brown to match the color of the tea. Beverage companies, green tea and sencha have many green labels, and barley tea and roasted tea have many brown labels, which seems to follow the precedent.

Ingredients are green tea, raw tea leaf extract, and vitamin C. The content is 525ml, which is slightly more than 500ml.

When you pour it into a glass, it looks like this, and the aroma of roasted green tea drifts softly and thinly. The taste is particularly mild among the roasted teas of each company, and there is no bitterness, harshness, or astringency, and the taste is 'light' and 'clean'. It's more like barley tea than green tea. It doesn't feel addictive, so if you value ease of drinking, it's one of the options.

'Nama-cha Hojicha' will be released on Tuesday, September 15, 2020, and the suggested retail price is 140 yen excluding tax for 525 ml PET bottles, 140 yen excluding tax for 600 ml PET bottles exclusively for convenience stores, and 115 yen excluding tax for 280 ml PET bottles. is.
