I compared the renewed version of ``Kirin Namacha'' and ``Kirin Namacha Hoji Sencha'', which are said to have the ``highest level of taste in the history of raw tea'', with the conventional version.
“ Kirin Namacha ” and “ Kirin Namacha Hoji Sencha ”, which have been ``evolved to the highest level of taste in the history of raw tea'' with a new package and taste, will be released on Tuesday, April 9, 2024. Kirin sent me the renewed versions of ``Kirin Namacha'' and ``Kirin Namacha Hojisencha'', so I tried comparing the conventional and renewed versions to see the difference in taste.

The renewed version (left) and conventional version (right) of 'Kirin Namacha' are below. The renewed version has a cylindrical bottle.
The ingredients for both are only green tea, raw tea leaf extract, and vitamin C, so there is no difference in the labeling. However, the taste seems to change depending on the manufacturing method.
The nutritional information is also the same.
I poured it into a transparent cup so you could see the difference in color. You can see that the renewed version (left) is darker than the conventional version (right).
When comparing the drinks, the renewed version of 'Kirin Namacha' has a slightly more bitter taste than the conventional version, but has a refreshing aftertaste. The official website states that the renewed version is ``elegant to drink, with a distinctly sweet taste similar to fresh green tea,'' but even after tasting it with multiple people, ``the renewed version has a slightly less bitter taste.'' Many people said that it is very strong.
Next, let's compare the renewed version (left) and the conventional version (right) of 'Kirin Namacha Hoji Sencha'.
The ingredients are the same, but the tea composition has changed.
The nutritional information has not changed either.
I poured the renewed version (left) and the conventional version (right) into a cup. They look the same and are hard to tell apart.
When I compared the drinks, I found that the renewed version had a slightly stronger aroma unique to hojicha. 'Kirin Namacha Hoji Sencha' has a smaller difference in taste between the renewed version and the conventional version compared to 'Kirin Namacha,' so if you like the conventional version, you can enjoy a similar taste even after the renewal.
The renewed versions of 'Kirin Namacha' and 'Kirin Namacha Hoji Sencha' are scheduled to be released on Tuesday, April 9, 2024. The suggested retail price excluding tax for each size is as follows.
