01 Fair / Plan
New Tea Fair [May 20 (Sat) - June 18 (Sun), 2023].
Shincha, also called ichiban-cha, is tea made by plucking the first sprouts of the year.
Harvest time varies by region and climate, with picking beginning in spring in warmer areas.
The sprouts, which store nutrients during the winter and sprout in early spring, have a special flavor: sweet, young, and lush.
During the fair, Chorakukan will offer a glass of new tea from the Japanese tea specialty store Ippodo Chaho.
Enjoy the pairing of Western sweets and French cuisine created to match the taste of new tea in a Western-style building in Kyoto.
