Okabe, nicknamed \"the village of gyokuro \", is one of the three major shaded tea producing regions of Japan, with Uji and Yame. Three weeks before harvest, the tea plants are covered with drapes which block 90% of the light, which limits bitterness. The first harvest leaves, of the Saemidori, Samidori and Asahi varieties, are assembled then ground with a stone mill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts foam is fine, its scent reminiscent of young shoots. The sweetness is gradually revealed and settles into the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe bowl matcha Mino-yaki\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is made by Shinji Akane (born in 1960), a traditional master craftsman in Toki, in Gifu prefecture. Toki is the center of production of Mino ceramics, the most important in Japan. Shinji Akane works with \"gotomaki\", a local coarse-grained clay, to create rustic, warm and easy-to-use pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe chasen, the chashaku and the kusenaoshi\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chasen is cut from a single bamboo stalk, split into thin strips adjusted by hand. The chashaku is used to measure the matcha : two rounded spoonfuls, or around 2 g, for a bowl. The kusenaoshi is the support on which the chasen is placed after use: the strands return to their flared shape and dry in the air, upside down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGift voucher to participate in the practical initiation to matcha\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor approximately 30 minutes, in our boutique on rue de Seine, we guide you step by step: the dosage, adding water, handling the whisk in bamboo and the formation of a fine foam. You can then reproduce these actions at home, with the utensils in the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe initiation is aimed as much at people who are discovering matcha as at those who want to better master its preparation.
