But Kagoshima is not only known for sencha tea; the prefecture is also a major producer of matcha green tea. So, no visit to Kagoshima is complete without tasting its delicious tea and learning about its centuries-long tea culture.
In this tea tasting experience, you can enjoy several kinds of organic teas produced by farmers in Kirishima, a city in the northern region of Kagoshima Prefecture. The tea will be served along with local sweet delicacies to enhance their flavor and aroma.
Kagoshima places special importance in upholding organic tea cultivation practices. For that reason, organic farming is common in Kirishima and the teas selected for this session are no exceptions.

Experience Location
Located on the bay, the port city of Kagoshima is the capital of Kyushu’s Kagoshima Prefecture. Formerly a castle town, Kagoshima City was the entrypoint of Western civilization to Japan in the 1600s, facilitating modernization and leading Japan’s Industrial Revolution in the 1800s. Kagoshima City also boasts abundant beauty, both natural and manmade. At Senganen Garden, the villa of the Shimadzu Clan that formerly ruled the area, visitors can get a glimpse of the majestic Mt. Sakurajima, a volcanic land mass that juts out of the sapphire waters of Kinko Bay.
