Temomi (Hand-rolled) Sencha

【Hand-rolled Sencha by Mr Sakaguchi in Kumamoto】



The hand-rolled Sencha production method is slightly different from that of Uji, Kyoto. Everything is done by hand in Kumamoto while the leaves are kneaded with a board for the final process in Uji, Kyoto.
The beautiful needle-shaped Sencha is rolled by Mr Sakaguchi, Sakaguchien. It takes 5 hours to make. He is still young, but his craftmanship is amazing!
