Green Tea Delights: Exploring Shizuoka's Local Specialties

Green tea is the drink that everyone thinks of when it comes to Japan. In fact, Shizuoka is the top producer of green tea in the country. You can see vast tea fields in various places around this area, which shine beautifully. 

 

Of course, I've loved green tea since I was a child, and I enjoy it every day. 

 

There are some places that show you how to make green tea. Many guests are often surprised by how different the tea tastes compared to what they make. It has less bitterness and more sweetness. This is because the temperature of hot water and brewing time change depending on the type of tea leaves.

 

Also, there are dishes and sweets using green tea. Green tea ice cream is one of the most popular desserts. At local green tea ice cream shops or cafés, many people come and line up to eat the richly aromatic and flavorful ice cream as well as cakes and parfait.

 

Why don’t you come to Shizuoka to taste authentic green tea?
