Sakai, Ibaraki, Japan｜TEAISM SHOP

This is a cafe/tea shop located in the Montenegrin Hall designed by Kengo Kuma. The exterior and interior are stylish, and you can enjoy tea in a calm atmosphere. The flower cake is so beautiful that it's almost a waste to eat it. There is also a cycle rack in the parking lot, making it easy to use by bicycle.

A cafe that also serves as a direct sales office for Sarushima Japanese black tea. The number of seats is small, but reservations are possible, and as long as you avoid the busy times, you won't have to miss out. You can enjoy various teas such as first flush and second flush, but if you want to enjoy various teas, the tasting set is recommended. Even if you don't have any tasting experience, it's okay because they will teach you well and it's not difficult. You can choose up to 3 types per person, so if you are with 2 people, you can choose 6 types, and if you are with 3 people, you can choose up to 9 types (it seems that there are always 12 types). It's a good idea to find out what you like here and buy tea leaves that you like, but if your taste buds are too discerning, you won't be satisfied with cheap tea leaves, so be careful (laughs). In addition to tea, you can also enjoy sweets and lunch, albeit in limited quantities.

I drink a variety of teas, including black tea, but Naganoen is the only producer that I respect. I've been a big fan since I drank Naganoen's tea and was shocked. If Mr. Naganoen started this shop to advertise and promote Sarushima tea, I have no choice but to support him. I am personally very happy to have a place to go to in an area I visit several times a year. Healthy lunch was delicious Next time, I want to eat sugar-free bean paste butter toast and tea leaf cheese toast. I have to do this year's tea tasting too I will ask you again soon Thank you for the meal - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - A tea farmer with a small tea plantation of 2.5 hectares and a factory along the Tone River. Green tea was the main product, but after studying manufacturing technology in China and Taiwan, I launched Japanese black tea. I was very happy to meet my favorite brand, SASHIMA CRAFT TEA X2 Muscatel. I also bought some smoked pistachios as a souvenir to take home. It goes without saying that black tea is wonderful, but what was even more impressive was Mr. Naganoen's passion for tea. We talked about various things while tasting, but the explanation of the tea leaves was very polite and easy to understand. He comes to me a lot, but I'm not a hard-selling temperament such as demonstration sales, but I have absolute confidence in my work, so I'm passionate. Honest customer service without lies is really pleasant I fully felt the high potential of Japanese tea. Only to be recognized I mean, what does the person with the ☆1 want to do? Are you a narrow-minded person who envy Naganozono's success, or just an idiot, or both? Originally I would give it a 4, but I will give it a 5 because of the unfair evaluation. I will buy again thank you
