The verdict

Where this pick fits.

Ippodo has been doing this in Kyoto since 1717. Sayaka is the everyday tin — premium without ceremonial-grade pricing. Vivid green, no astringent edge, the umami sits right on the tongue.

Kyoto, 1717. The everyday tin from a house that doesn't do everyday. It earned its spot in our lineup by solving the stage it's supposed to solve — without pretending to solve every stage after it.
