Day 8 of the PostTea advent. Genmaicha can be hit or miss for me, depending on the base and the overall level of toastiness. This one strikes a good balance. It’s probably one of the sweetest I’ve tried (at least, among those that are unflavoured), and it really does have the “sugar puffs” quality that so many promise and then don’t deliver. The base is smooth and buttery, with just a hint of pea, perfectly complemented by the toasted rice which is very reminiscent of sweet popcorn. It has a toastiness, but it’s fairly mild.

I like this one – it’s a genmaicha I’d be happy to keep around, largely because it strikes a decent balance between sweet and savoury. If I were to be a picky pain, I’d say I’d like the toasted rice to be a little more distinctively toasted, as that would give the overall flavour a bit more punch. It’s a small complaint, really, though. It tastes good as is.
