Shizuoka Prefecture produces 50% of all tea in Japan and 70% of the total national production is also traded in our Prefecture!
As I was going to take my train to University at Shizuoka JR Station, a major and very busy station in Japan, I noticed the Shizuoka Green Tea stand in the middle of the station.
Notwithstanding the beautiful young ladies serving the tea for free (quite difficult to time the photo, I can assure you!) I was attracted as I appreciate the beverage a lot. The tea was Motoyama, oneof the major shizuoka varieties grown in Shizuoka City (which spreads up to the Southern Alps!).
A great treat before boarding a crowded train!
I wished they could do that for sake, but obviously the police would more than frown upon it!

I was lucky indeed as they all smiled (I actually said “smile!”) together while I managed to “frame” their faces. All that with a mobile phone camera!
You can use it for your blog!
Cheers,
