Hachiju Hachiya- The eighty eighth night-

What do you think today is ??
Just a normal Monday ? or, mid of Golden Week ? Exactly it is.
But even Japanese don't know and forget that this is Hachiju Hachiya counted from the beginning of Spring today.
We call the beginning of Spring " Rissyun"in Japan.
At Hachiju Hachiya, this is the highest season for picking green tea leaves.
We enjoy picking them, their fresh flavor and taste.
These leaves are delivered as Shincha(the first tea of the season) to many districts in Japan.

Chatumi(picking green tea leaves) is especially famous in Shizuoka prefecture, Kyoto,and Yamaguchi prefecture.

You can experience this event when you come to Japan.

Why don't you experience Chatumi , fresh green tea flavor and taste with Japanese cake ??
