Mikatagahara Daichi & Makinohara

For many people the name Mikatagahara is best known for the battle of Mikatagahara, which took place between Takeda Shingen and Ieyasu Tokugawa in 1572 during the Sengoku period.

Among the many places in Shizuoka prefecture that produce green tea, Mikatagahara Daichi and Makinohara were some of the hardest places to grow anything due to the landscape and limited water access.

The green tea grown in these area have thick leaves due to the strong sunlight which differentiates it from the green tea grown in Shizuoka city. With many struggles, farmers discovered “Fukamushi Cha”. “Fukamushi” means longer steaming. They steam the green tea leaves two or three times longer than green teas that have thinner leaves.

We have great Fukamushi cha from Honme Asakichi Shoten.
