Takakoen Hand-picked Tea Rice

after that,

Eat rice balls with tea,

I had a great time.

By the way,

Chameshi is a traditional food of the Mikawa tea region.

There are many different types of chameshi across the country, but in Mikawa they use tencha tea leaves, which are the tea leaves before they are ground into matcha.

Of course. This tencha is served as hand-picked tea rice.

It is sold at Takakoen and is made using only hand-picked tencha.

They were able to experience tea and spend a different time than usual.

Thank you to everyone who participated.

Thank you to all the staff at Meguria for your concern.

Please come and play again.
