Compared to brighter, lighter cultivars, Okumidori tends to be more grounded—it brings a bit more salinity, a bit more body, and a smoother overall experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can feel that right away in the cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flavor leans into a soft \u003cstrong\u003enori-like umami\u003c\/strong\u003e, balanced with a gentle \u003cstrong\u003emelon-like sweetness\u003c\/strong\u003e and a fresh \u003cstrong\u003eedamame-like green note\u003c\/strong\u003e.
