What to expect
Minamata in Kumamoto is home to some of Japan's oldest tea fields, where the prized ZAIRAI variety has been cultivated for about 800 years. This day-trip experience invites you to taste that heritage in two ways, both at Yunoko Onsen's Tsuru no Ya.
Choose the "Shokutaku" dinner to enjoy a traditional Japanese meal in which local tea is woven through each course, paired with the region's seasonal ingredients. Or choose "FLIGHT" to compare two kinds of locally grown tea, guided by a tea sommelier, and discover how soil, climate and craftsmanship shape each cup.
Both experiences are hosted in a welcoming local setting, with warm interactions with tea farmers and residents. Come and discover the perfect pairing of Minamata's tea and cuisine, and the stories behind every sip.
