The Secret of MATCHA | KYOTO, JAPAN

"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!

We have a Tsujiri shop here in the city I live in New Zealand that I love going to when I'm craving some matcha or traditional Japanese sweets. I loved learning about the history and production process of the real place and hope to be able to visit someday. Great video and very well shot too❤
