"Matcha" has been a popular beverage in Japan for centuries and has gained worldwide popularity as a flavoring in lattes and desserts. Last summer, we luckily had a chance to interview Tsuji Riichi Hoten, a renowned tea shop famous throughout Japan.

This video will explore the history, production process, and stories behind authentic matcha.
I hope you enjoy the matcha of Japan's best-known brand!
