Green tea feild
Do you like Japanese green tea?
I heard that some people don't like it because it has bitter taste.
As to me, I really love this tea and I have green tea every day very often
and also every after meal.
I will bring some with me when I go on a trip.
Maybe I can't live without it :p (too much to say?)
That tea is too familiar for me so I didn't think it has bitter taste.
Shizuoka prefecture located at central main land and temperate region
and also famous for tea leaf field.
We can taste freshy green tea in April and May and these tea has freshy and natural sweet flavour.
I have been to Shizuoka with friend of mine for picking green tea leaves.
I really enjoyed standing in the tea field and picking leaves.
And this is a costume for girls for picking leaves...
don't you think we are lovely....or yes.....
you can laugh :p
And after picking, we enjoyed gorgeous lunch, cooking with tea leaves,
that was nice!
Unluckly we could not see Mt.Fuji during our stay
but if it's clear day, you can see Mt.Fuji behind tea field extend all around.
That would be perfect Japanese scenery ;)
And they have many tasty local foods and
hanging around in fish market would be interesting.
Enjoy and find your Shizuoka ;D
