Since I started to drink green tea a bit more than a year ago, I have only tried these senchas (all from O-Cha.com) :
Uji Sencha Miyabi
Sencha Yutaka Midori
Fukamushi Sencha Supreme
Daily Sencha
I enjoy all of them (specially Yutaka Midori ) and the Adagio White tea sampler is on its way to my door mat but I would like to try other greens from other vendors. As far as I know Den's does not ship outside the U.S and Canada so it should be others. I prefer a relatively expensive/top of the line sencha than a cheap Gyokuro (which I have not tried yet)
Any recommendation ?
Re: Recommendation needed
You should try an asamushi (light steamed) sencha.
Ujibashi san no ma (Tsuen sold by O-cha) or Warashina supreme (O-cha) and Ippodo Kaboku.

Re: Recommendation needed
+1, you should certainly try some asamushicha.
My top 5, well 6 fave list in order currently out of approx 20 vendors I have tried that are at least trying to make Japanese greens a top priority ... and many more yet to try,
O-Cha
Zencha
Den's
Maiko
Rishi
Ippodo
TBH, I rarely try a new vendor based on a recommendation, I try to keep an open mind and try as many vendors as is feasible. I do however listen to members regarding bad experiences. But be willing to try just about anyone.
