😸 KAORI かおり - The name Kaori was inspired by our beloved cat, affectionately called Mama Kao — the partner of Kuro-chan, who inspired our brand’s name. She’s a feisty Lynx Point Siamese whose spirited personality perfectly captures the character of our Yabukita matcha.

📍 ORIGIN: Shizuoka Prefecture
