I made this tonight for myself and a friend. I didn’t realize before then how truly absorbent the buckwheat grains are – they really puffed up in the infuser! I’ll probably take the grains and eat them once I finish drinking off the second steep, which I’m currently working on.
The smell of this is like sesame and peanuts. Pretty tasty and roasty, but I still think of the Yamane-en Hokkaido Dattan sobacha I bought a sample of from Yunomi.us – I’m really considering ordering more of that soon.

Oooh where did you grab these?
I bought this sobacha a week ago from a large Asian grocery store in Toronto called PAT Market. It’s on Bloor a few blocks west of Bathurst.
They had quite a lot of genmaichas and senchas available as well, but the packages were so large that I didn’t want to buy that much without trying a sample first.
Heh, I don’t blame you, I do the same. Unless I know I really enjoy a particular type of tea
