Cool Japan 2015 сезон 13 серия — Green Tea

May is the season for new tea leaves. Japanese tea is now gaining popularity abroad as a healthy drink taken with no sugar or milk. And matcha tea flavored snacks are highly acclaimed as souvenirs among foreign tourists. In the program, we made a visit to a store specializing in tea and a restaurant with a concept of ‘eating tea', as well as a Gyokuro farm to have a look at their elaborate work. We also made a visit to a manufacturer of Tokuho a Specified Health Use green tea beverage certified by the country to close in on behind-the-scenes of its development.
