Ujitawara, Kyoto, Japan｜宗円交遊庵 やんたん

Amazing atmosphere, friendly staff and s lot of interesting products.

The old man in the tea plantation above Soen Nagatani's birthplace told me to stop by "Yantan" when I met him on the roadside✋ (That's right) You should start sightseeing in this area from here! Besides, there is a map. You can learn about the highlights, basic knowledge of tea, etc. Why is Nagatanien there? I got it here (shame on me) Among the meals and souvenirs, there is a 600 yen set that compares only sencha and gyokuro. First, drink the first cup of tea that was served. It's lukewarm, but what is it? Pour the second cup of hot water into the teapot, wait 30 seconds, and drink the tea. Oh, it's delicious, it still has a deep flavor. The third cup, there is a pot in front. Put it in a teapot and drink it. I understand that the taste is slightly thinner. It's usually up to here. I was tired from walking and was thirsty, but I drank 4 cups x 2 types until the pot ran out 😃 I miss the life of pouring hot water and drinking it while whistling (laughs).

The mini tour to and from this place was really good! The tea soup was also delicious! Souvenirs were also reasonably priced!
