The Cultivar - Kirari 31
\n
The Kirari 31 is a cultivar that is receiving increasing attention in recent years. It was derived from a cross of Sakimidori (the mother or pollen parent) and Saemidori (the father or pollen parent. Saemidori itself a cross between Yabukita and Asatsuyu cultivars). The cultivar was first produced in 1994 with traits such as disease and cold resistance, good growth, and tea quality in mind, and indeed has shown very good resistance against frost so has been recommended to farmers cultivating at higher elevations. In general, the quality of tea made from the Kirari 31 is greater than that of Yabukita and compares with the umami level and color of Saemidori. Ready for harvest in general 3-4 days earlier than Yabukita, it has an excellent color (as you may be able to tell from the photo) with a mild flavor that is similar to Saemidori quality.
From 7-time Minister's Award Winning, 15th generation tea farmer Masahiro Okutomi (Okutomi Tea Garden, Sayama, Saitama), a single cultivar sencha green tea (Kirari 31) harvested on April 12, 2023, and rolled by hand for 6.5 hours.

A premium sencha made with a single tea plant cultivar, sayama-kaori. This cultivar is named after the Sayama tea region (where Yokota Tea Garden is based), which encompasses Saitama prefecture and a small area of northwestern Tokyo. The Yokota Tea Garden processed this tea using the \"ichoka\" method, in which the harvested tea leaves are withered to enhance their scent. It was also steamed for a long time to enhance the rich flavor. Grown by 4th, 5th, and 6th generation tea farmers in the famous Sayama region of Saitama prefecture.

Meet the fresh batch of Tomizawa Tea Garden Shincha, harvested in 2025 and certified organic by JAS. The other teas are also grown without pesticides or chemical fertilizers. Enjoy pure, natural flavors with every sip, knowing you're supporting sustainable farming practices.
From the fields of family-operated tea farm, Tomizawa Tea Garden, a shincha shaded for about 2 weeks before early May harvest (making it a kabusecha).
The Saeakari tea cultivar is quite new on the tea market. A descendant of Saemidori and Z1 cultivars, it is ready for harvest a little after Saemidori and before Yabukita cultivars, producing more volume. In the spring, like Saemidori, it produces leaves with a bright green color. While each tea's flavor is also heavily influenced by the farmer's cultivation and processing skill (and their intended flavor), one can expect a bright green, refreshing sweet tea from Tomizawa Tea Garden. This is a tea with a sweet taste that spreads in your mouth and disappears quickly without any bitterness or astringency.
As a steamed tamaryokucha (or guricha), the leaves are not rolled into straight needles as you would see with sencha, but rather left slightly curled by skipping the last rolling step.
Steeping Notes
Tea: 3-5 grams
Time: 1 minute
Water temperature: 60C/140F degrees
Water amount: 1 cup
Resteep at hotter temperature up to 3 times. We recommend the second steep to be quick -- in and out, since the leaves are primed for extraction.
Use hotter temperature & longer steeping time for a more astringent tea, use cold water or ice steeping for a very sweet tea.
Product Info
Ingredients: Green tea
Cultivar: Saeakari
Harvest: Early May
Steaming: Slightly longer than regular steaming but retains shape well, so not quite fukamushi (deep steamed)
Region: Mashiki, Kumamoto
