Staffing a department store in the Kanto area
Enjoying talking with customers.
What’s your regular brand?
What do you like about it?
I like to give this as a present to friends I play sports or practice with. I also like that it's small, so I can give it to them casually when we're out together, and they can easily fit it into their bag, even if they only carry a small purse.
How do you enjoy it?
I prepare it with boiled water that has been slightly cooled when I want to enjoy richer sweetness, but use boiling hot water directly when I want an invigorating fragrance. Preparing sencha based on how I feel helps me to relax.
Business development
Constantly studying how to make delicious Japanese tea part of our lives.
What's your regular brand?
What do you like about it?
I give this to a couple who always help me out. It's also convenient that it comes in a bag, so I can send it to them in the post along with a handwritten letter in the spring, when the cherry blossoms are blooming.
How do you enjoy it?
This couple likes to hold parties at home. Serving a dessert wine plus a satisfyingly sweet cold-brewed Kanro gyokuro after the meal is a simple but delightful idea for when everyone is relaxed.
Corporate sales
Forging wonderful relationships with clients throughout Japan.
What's your regular brand?
What do you like about it?
I really like how convenient it is. It's got all sorts of benefits, like not requiring a kyusu, being easy to carry around, and allowing me to easily enjoy the authentic taste of Japanese tea anywhere.
How do you enjoy it?
When I drink this tea, I put two teabags in a mug, and pour on lots of hot water. One of my Japanese tea connoisseur friends at Ippodo suggests drinking a blend by brewing one teabag each of gyokuro and hojicha together in the same mug.
