February's Picture of the Month



On 4th February, I had an opportunity to visit classes at a junior high school in Nishio, SE of the university.
Nishio is famous for green tea, shown here in the form of macha, the powdered kind which is whisked to
give a more foam-like consistency and which is more bitter than every day ocha. Green tea is grown in areas
with a mild climate, and is particularly famous from Shizuoka Prefecture, Uji near Kyoto, and Kagoshima Prefecture.
