There are lots of Yame tea flavored sweets on the market! However, in this article, we would like to tell you more about YAME GYOKURO CURRY... A tasty savoury product that is packed full of Yame tea! One of the key ingredients in this unique, luxurious curry is Yame's famous "Gyokuro" tea! The text on the package says that "the spice mix was developed by the continued process of trial and error. However, there is more to the taste than just the spice... The curry also has a unique umami quality." You can't help but wonder... What does it actually taste like? We were so curious!

Place the pouch in boiling water (without opening it) for about 5 minutes. Once you take it out of the water and finally open it up, you'll be hit by a refreshing scent of green tea that has a somewhat spicy quality. The color is greener like green tea than you might expect. It almost looks like a spinach curry!

You'll notice that the curry has a bit of a spicy kick right from your first mouthful. It is pretty cool that the taste doesn't quite match the calm, soft colors featured in the design of the package! This is definitely a curry for adults! Initially, you might be struck by the way the spices combine with a somewhat mild pork curry, and the slightly sweet quality of onions as well as other vegetables. A refreshing flavor that is usually associated with green tea will then start to spread in your mouth. A fresh, yummy aftertaste will be left once you've finished. Gyokuro is said to be less bitter than other regular green teas. It also has a sweet yet umami flavor, which goes surprisingly well with curry. This is so delicious... It is even better than you realise!

The product is produced in the area famous for ​​Gyokuro. Be sure to check out this Yame speciality when you are next visiting! You can purchase the curry at the Koga Seicha Honpo shops, online stores (*only deliver to shoppers in Japan), and at Yame Tourism Products Hall Tokimeki!
