Lovely hot or cold!

We've been trying to find a replacement for our favourite sobacha from Osaka, this comes pretty close but not the exact same. Lovely flavour though, hot and cold. Very refreshing in hot weather, and such a warming aroma.

So pleased you like the Sobacha. We have another type arriving next week that I think will have a deeper, more roasted flavour. The new one maybe more similar to the one you had from Osaka! Thank you for the review
