    Green Tea

    The astringent constituent in Japanese tea is a type of polyphenol called catechin. Japan has done a great deal with the humble tea leaf. For example some benefits of the catechin in the tea leaf can lower cholesterol in some cases. Roasted over charcoal at a high temperature and grown under shade for at least 20 days are one of the examples. The most popular Japanese tea might be ryokucha. Depending on the timing of picking the leaves, the grade, the price can be noticeably different.

About Host



I'm Kaori. After graduating from university studying English literature, I started work as a cabin attendant based in Hong Kong. I had various experiences like the culture, custom and especially cuisine of many countries. I think that to know the cuisine is to know the country's culture much more deeply. So I began to think about offering Japanese cooking class for foreign guests to become more familiar with Japan. I'd like to show not only cooking but also history, table manner and much more. I'm looking forward to seeing you and having a good time together!
