Shizuoka's food cultureKnow

Makinohara City is known as one of Japan's leading tea producing regions, blessed with a rich natural environment and geographical conditions, and its crude tea production is among the highest in the prefecture. During the peak tea season from late April to mid-May, the tea plantations are a feast for the eyes.

Shizuoka Makinohara tea is made from tea leaves that have grown thickly under the blessings of the sun in this vast land, and the mainstream is ``deep steamed tea,'' which is made by steaming for a long time. It has a bright green color and a mellow taste with little bitterness or astringency, and can be enjoyed even hot.
