Fujieda tea, which is fragrant in combination group
In the Edo era, December 13 was a good day, and it was said that preparations for the new year, such as "soot payment" and "matsu pick-up", were started.
At "Kaido Hiroin Nihonbashi", which was held under the theme of "New Year's Beginning", we experienced one of the traditional crafts of Tokaido castle towns and post towns, "Fujieda Chaaigumi".
What is a combination of tea?
It is a blend of tea. Fujieda City has two post stations, Okabe and Fujieda, and has long prospered as a center for tea. Friend your favorite scent from some ingredients.
The tea master is Seitaro Yagi of Fujiei Tea Co., Ltd. In a tea contest held in Paris, he was awarded for a blended tea [rice amber] of hojicha and brown rice tea.
First, select one of the three types of tea (green tea, roasted tea, black tea) and put it in a container.
On top of it, select and add two flavors from 5 types (yuzu, ginger, mandarin orange, cherry leaves, roasted brown rice).
Put the lid, shake the container and mix it. I made two types of tea: green tea, roasted brown rice, cherry leaves, black tea, yuzu, and ginger.
Nitoge Yajuku on the Tokaido Road
After leaving the venue, there was an exhibition of Nitoge Yajuku in the passage in front of Mitsukoshi. The two passes and eight post stations in Shizuoka City and Fujieda City on the Tokaido are collectively called Nitoge Hashuku.
"Tokaido Naka-Kurige", published in the Edo period, became a great bestseller as a travel guidebook. In 2020, it was recognized as a Japanese heritage as "Yaji-san Kita, who started Japan's first trip boom, a trip to Sunshu-a guidebook for Tokaido trip drawn by humorous books and ukiyo-e (Dochuki)-" .
