Our Japanese coffee at home today is drip bag by Seijo Ishii.
Seijo Ishii is luxury grocery store, focusing on both imported and domestic products.
Seijo Ishii has private coffee brand, both roasted beans and drip bag (they have tons of private roasted beans, trust me.)
There are 5 kinds of drip bags offered by Seijo Ishii:
- Mocha drip coffee
- Organic drip coffee
- Mild drip coffee
- Rich drip coffee
- Caffeinless drip coffee
There are few characteristics the private brand has in common:
・The coffee has 12g per bag, while you normally see 10g, or even 8g sometimes at stores (e.g. Muji brands)
・Relatively large bag which allows to pour hot water easily
・While it keeps certain quality, it saves money.
Now it is time to review the Mocha drip.
Summary
Total Score: 3.0 out of 5.0

Review
Husband:
・Smells like grain and corn
・Once you sip, it tastes like grapefruits skin, emphasizing sourness and bitterness
・It is light so bitterness does not last long
・As time passes bitterness fades away
・If you like third wave coffee with light roast, this is your option
Wife:
・Floral smell
・Right amount of sourness; easy to drink
・You taste bitterness at the end
・Balanced coffee
