Please help tea picking for manufacturing 'Shimoda Black Tea'!
We, members of Shimoda Kocha No Kai, enjoy tea and learn about tea and have been
involved in the production of tea, based on the historical fact that the first American
consul general, Townsend Harris brought tea to Japan. We promote the sales of
'Shimoda Black Tea.'
Around 20 people work jointly in tea picking, whereas 10 people are engaged
annually in cutting, fertilization, weeding etc. Now, join us, Shimoda Kocha no Kai
on this opportunity of tea picking !
Nigiwai Shachu promotes another project called 'Shimoda Jizake Club.'
Junmai Ginjo sake called 'Reimei' is produced. In a program, we work together
in rice planting of Shimoda rice 'Kinuhikari.'

Make himono(traditional dried fish) with fresh aji (saurel). 5 aji(saurel) will be served to cut open to be dried.
We will take care of the subsequent work. Finished himonos will be taken home or sent by delivery service.
