From the village of Yuikamatsuka (now simply Yui) in Shimada City, Shizuoka Prefecture, this is a deep-steamed sencha green tea with a deep green color and medium astringency. Near the Ooi River (Ooigawa), the area is blessed with a morning mist that is evidence of the temperature difference between night and day that produces great tea leaf.
