The Domatcha in the Jason Fasi chawan, has a really classic matcha aroma, of bitter chocolate and slightly chalky. But the taste leaves room to be desired, I'd almost call it sour.
The Tancho-no-Mukashi in the Ikkyuo Hagi chawan has what I'd almost say is a peanut butter and chocolate aroma, and goes down thick with a very grassy and chalky taste.
Wakamatsu-no-Mukashi in the beige hagi chawan honestly has no problem being the star of the show. Though I like the power in the Tancho, the Wakamatsu is just so pleasant the entire way through, its almost like drinking bliss, especially when made in Koicha fashion.

I also don't like matcha (or just about any teas) that have a sour flavor.
I am no matcha expert though, I barely have any experience with it. And I've honestly never made it myself. But I do find it a bit intense, almost overwhelming...not the sort of thing I'd want to drink that often.
It's odd because I often make other green teas much more strongly, and they don't seem too intense for me.
