Right here in Kakegawa City of Shizuoka Prefecture a new café is just about finished with construction.
The original date of opening was to be this month in May, however due to the virus issue still being large enough to postpone things, the opening date will likely be pushed back until around September.
Hopefully things will settle and we are all looking forward to and excited for the café opening! In addition to packaged tea products, the café will feature a tea-based menu with pudding, rice, cakes, etc. made using tea in creative ways.
On this day we planted both Yabukita and Saemidori seedlings around the back-side of the café. Diners can have a nice view of the surrounding countryside and tea fields, and also experience picking tea leaves themselves once the newly-planted tea stubs mature in the years to come.
Although it is still only in Japanese, here is the café’s current website: https://chanoniwa.com/
Who here enjoys visiting tea cafes or shops? Do you order online or go to stores?
What tea are you drinking now? Did you buy at a supermarket or..?
I’m looking forward to sharing more of what I can from Shizuoka.
By the way, a good friend of mine is putting together a glossary of study notes based off of a textbook series we are both studying, The test is the Japanese Tea Instructor Test. If anyone is interested in the information presented, check out his notes as seen below!
