Nishio, one of Japan’s top matcha-producing regions alongside Uji, accounts for 20% of the country’s matcha production. Known for its rich theanine content, Nishio matcha offers a deep umami flavor and a relaxing effect. This tour lets you experience matcha production with all five senses while learning from a local guide about its 800-year history.
Start by picking tea leaves at an award-winning tea field and taking photos in a traditional *Chatsumi Musume* costume. Then, visit the renowned "Aoi Seicha" factory to see how matcha is made. Experience grinding tea leaves with a stone mill and enjoy a fresh matcha tasting.
Finally, participate in a casual matcha ceremony using *Nishio no Matcha*. Prepare and enjoy your own matcha with traditional Japanese sweets while learning about tea culture from the guide. Discover the deep flavors of Nishio matcha and embrace the Japanese spirit of tea.
