“We had the chance to enjoy a tea tasting session with various cultivars of tea produced in Shizuoka as well as interesting samples from other region, Asako san curation list was quite an exploration. Even though you have tried and tasted many before, the world of Japanese tea is vast. I really enjoy taking a stroll seeing tea field in Makinohara and setting up a small tea picnic, that very simple moment just you and tea friends talking over tea in the tea field was just what i need for a break from busy works. I wish we had more time to go into farms in the mountain area.

 

This experience highly recommended to beginners, yet for seasoned tea lovers she could also facilitate between you and the tea producers ensuring a smooth communication. I’m glad she started offering experiences in English so that more visitors could learn and enjoy more of Japanese tea."
