Aroma & Flavor

The aroma of Tokyo Snow is a complex blend of high-octane OG, featuring diesel and solvent-like notes, layered with a cool, minty freshness. Upon grinding, scents of citrus rind, vanilla sweetness, and earthy spice emerge.

Its indica-dominant nature is associated with deeply relaxing physical sensations, complemented by a mentally stimulating quality that can foster creativity.

Terpenes & Cannabinoids
