One day!
So nice to see channels really showing the beauty of Japan out of Tokyo and lamen shops. Keep the amazing work.
Thank you! Will do!
Wow this video is ready to get the par-tea started!🍵🍵🍵
Yay yay!
Tea culture everywhere is very relaxing.
It really is!
Obubu Tea Farm was a great experience when i went there last year. Fell in love with kyobancha and all the staff was very accommodating.
So happy to hear that!
That intro was exci-TEA-ing
XD
Absolu-tea-ly!
TEA-riffic comment right here.
Bon appétea!
the scenery is beautiful, a nice change from the hustle and bustle of the big city, and the tea looks refreshing
We feel the same!
Matsumoto and Shizuka both definitely love their jobs lol
We believe so!
400th like! Japan is the only thing I watch that calms me down.
Ohhh we get the feeling!
Another fascinating episode. Thank you! What a great place and great owner and staff at Obubu!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow. Beautiful landscape. Thank you for introducing us to this place. That would definitely be worth a trip for us.❤
Please visit!
My partner and I went to Wazuka last week for a very similar tasting at dmatcha. I love Obubu and co. trying to generate global interest in tea and tea culture outside of Starbucks matcha latte! One thing you touched on but is really important is that these aging tea farming families, some of them 10-15 generations deep, have no successors, but people like Hiro-san and Daiki-san at dmatcha work with the elders to manage their land for them and keep the fields from going wild and abandoned. Great video!
Very true! They are super inspiring and we hope they succeed in all of their endeavors!
Love learning how to properly prepare my matcha!
Shizuka in Wasuka ! very educational episode thanks again 👍🍵🍵🍵
Thank you for watching!
This is an in-tea-resting and en-tea-taining presentation. Good job!
Hehe, nice one!
the air there probably smells different especially hiking up the hill. i'm jealous.
It smells magnificent!
13:39 - 13:40 Her look repsponse is so epic! Making me hungry here in Texas U.S.A.!
Bon appetit!
Wow!
One time i got lost in Kyoto, and I was hungover because it was new years day. good times, and epic vid Shi!
Thank you so much!
I loved learning about Tea Farmer Style Matcha
Shizuka Style Matcha ❤
Glad you enjoyed!
Very Tea-Tastic!
Beu-tea-ful!
Greetings from Redondo Beach 🇺🇸.Beautiful tea farm and nice video 🌷
hello back!
Wonderful👍
Please keep it up😍🌱
Thank you!
Love it! For a second there I thought you guys were going to drive off a cliff with you freaking out ha! I literally was talking to my Japanese wife about these tea farms and what care they require to maintain. We’re quite near in Kizugawa and the Kyoto Nara border. High five to you all. I’m definitely going to stop by for an afternoon with the family. Compi Cheers Machi! ❤
Enjoy the trip!
Excellent.
Thank you for watching!

If you drink sweetened GT, you might as well drink GT with honey and lemon.
Shizuka looking to invest in a tea farm now on top of the brewery and sake distillery ?
😉
Great vlog as always
Thank you for watching!
I'm not sure why, but I have the feeling that tea is not the only thing that Matsumoto-san grows on those Kyoto slopes...
Sen no Rikyu, he was a righteous dude. During the 16th century often called the “Christian Century” in Japan, there was actually a biblically based tea ceremony that brought many Japanese to know Jesus. This isn’t talked about so much in Japan but it was the main reason Japan closed its doors to the world and made being a Christian punishable by death up until around the nineteenth century. If you ever want to hear one of the most important and interesting stories about the Japanese tea ceremony during the time of Rikyu… let me know. I’m heading to Uji next month to do a tea experience, I may have to swing around this area while I’m up there. Hey, have you ever done the Yamazaki whisky tour… just curious since your near the area. Awesome video.! Domo Arigato.!
🇧🇩❤️🇯🇵
Do they have gyokuro? Among all the Japanese green tea, I love it the most. There's a place in Singapore that sells gyokuro that is served to the Japanese Imperial family. TWG sells it at exuberant prices. Too rich for my taste buds.
yes they do. i sampled some when i went there last year.
@@tflogic Ok.... here I come!
Please visit!
@@JapanbyFood I will. I would like to go on that roller coaster as well. 🤣
Those tea plants are nothing like what my hippie parents taught me a tea plant was.
:D oh lord!
16:41 Is that a mar-TEA-ni?
Ha! YES! 😆🍵🍸
Who chooses the siiiick ass jazz on this channel!?! Please I must know this info
Our editors!
@@JapanbyFood There is someone on your team who is either a great musician, avid jazz fan, or both.
That French guy is such a good staff there! Such a shame he's going back to France...
He was super nice!
If we ever meet, want to get some boba?

Thank you for the educational video about the tea town Shizuka. But I was worried you were going to hurt yourself on the "rollercoaster"...yikes!
You and me both!
HIROSANNNN, bring me back ;_;
Come back!
You are the PRETTIEST woman on this planet. Undisputed
She's definitely a screamer
Im not sure if its ur strategy, but I noticed that Shizuka wears the same clothes.. please dont get me wrong I'm ok with it and I really think that shes beautiful 😀. I personally hate vlog wherein they wear those BIG LUXURY LOGO like I get it u rich im broke haha
Shizuka is a sustainable queen and we love her wardrobe:)
It's not very interesting. Tea is produced in various places such as Shizuoka, Yame, and Sayama. This place seems to be popular with foreigners.
