Region
Tokai
Prefecture
Shizuoka

Shizuoka is a leading Prefecture in both the cultivation and consumption of Japanese tea. Situated near Japan's highest peak, Mount Fuji, and its deepest bay, Suruga Bay, this naturally rich region offers a unique way to enjoy locally grown tea through "Tea Pairing." This new approach pairs seasonal course meals with tea freshly brewed on the spot by a tea master*. From appetizers to desserts, the tea master will select for you different teas that complement each dish.
* A tea master is a professional who selects, blends, and finalizes tea products.

Highlights

The program takes place in Shizuoka and allows you to enjoy kaiseki meals prepared with fresh seafood, local vegetables, and ingredients capturing the essence of each season.
This tea tasting experience is not just about drinking; you can engage all your senses to appreciate the aroma, flavor, and color of Shizuoka tea, which vary with different types and brewing methods. Explanations from the tea master provide a deeper understanding of this cherished tradition.
