I won't be able to go, but ... your reference to ochazuke has just made me decide that's what I'm going to have for dinner! Plus lots of autumn fruit. ^^
ReplyDeleteThanks Rurousha, Yeah, its a bit far from Tokyo for you. Ochazuke is great and we often have it towards the end of our meal :)

I like 茶畑。茶畑 is also located in my neighborhood. It's so scenery and fun to drink them. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Cocomino, You are lucky to have a 茶畑 in your neighborhood. They look amazing and you can also enjoy the final product as well :)

No Boh Cameronian tea representative? Shucks. ;p
ReplyDeleteThanks Lina, Not sure about that! Just done my research and turns out that Boh Cameronian tea is the most famous tea in Malaysia. It could be represented :)
