🍃✨ Limited Specialty: Sechibaru Green Tea ✨🍃

Sechibaru Tea is a celebrated Japanese green tea known for its refined balance of umami and gentle astringency — a cup that embodies true elegance.

🌿 Origin: Sechibaru, Sasebo City, Nagasaki Prefecture

Nestled at an altitude of 450 meters on the Hokumatsuura Peninsula, the tea fields of Sechibaru thrive in a cool, refreshing climate.

In this pristine environment, the tea leaves grow slowly and develop a naturally thick, robust body, resulting in flavors and aromas that are beautifully concentrated.

🍃 Craftsmanship & Rarity

To preserve the tea’s delicate fragrance, the leaves are lightly steamed and finished using the mushi-sei gyokuro method — a technique that locks in umami while highlighting the tea’s clarity and depth.

With Sechibaru Tea accounting for only 3% of Japan’s total green tea production, it is an exceptionally rare treasure.
Its signature traits include a soft aroma, pure and smooth mouthfeel, and a satisfying, deep richness.

🍰 A Perfect Companion

The refreshing, subtly fruity aroma pairs wonderfully with both meals and desserts, enhancing any dining experience with its gentle sophistication.

Please enjoy a cup of this exquisite tea — a proud expression of the Hokumatsuura Peninsula — right here in Ginza, at your own unhurried pace.

First time eating sushi in Japan!

I had the opportunity to go to a 回転寿司 - Kura Sushi restaurant (a conveyor belt sushi) with two co-workers. I got to try and learn about various kinds of sushi like Ikura salmon roe sushi or tuna yukhoe sushi – both very delicious!
I was also surprised to discover that natto sushi is a thing here in Japan!

About Kannonyama:

They have different work areas like packing, parlor, processing and farming sections each with different tasks:
1. In the farming section you get to watch the fruits grow and ripen, to harvest them when the time is right.
2. The packing section takes care of fruit orders, checks their quality and labels e.g. fruit jams like fig jam or fruit jellies for drinks, like peach jelly drink.
They also inspects the quality and grades them accordingly.
3. The processing section, fruits are prepared for sale as dried fruits or fresh products.
4. In the parlor, they make so-called parfaits and other desserts with seasonal fruits like grapes, figs, and peaches, strawberries, and Mikan (a typ of mandarin orange and citrus fruit that is very famous in Wakayama).
Parfaits (French for „perfect“) here at Wakayama resemble the American version more being served in a tall glass made with fresh fruits, granola, yogurt and whipped cream.
