Asamiya Tea
When poured into a teacup, a soft, deep aroma rises. With a single sip, a mellow sweetness is followed by a crisp umami that spreads smoothly—this is the dignified taste of Asamiya Tea. Asamiya in Shigaraki is counted as one of Japan's five major famous teas, alongside Uji and Sayama. In this mountainous area at altitudes exceeding 400m, the significant temperature difference between day and night imparts a deep aroma and sweetness to the tea leaves. Its history is ancient; it is said to be one of Japan's oldest tea-producing regions, originating when Saicho planted tea seeds brought from Tang Dynasty China. Over a thousand years of history are dissolved into a single cup of tea. It is a brew you want to savor slowly while enjoying its fragrance.
