June 15th, Father's Day 💖 Thank you always, Dad 💕

Compared to Mother's Day, it seems to be a bit more subdued in society.

Let's raise a glass of healthy Kakegawa tea to all the dads who work so hard for their families! 🍻

In Shizuoka, the standard way to mix shochu (Japanese distilled spirit) is with green tea instead of hot water. This is called "Shizuoka-wari."

It might prevent you from getting too drunk.

A regular customer of the powdered Kakegawa tea and the proprietress of a local izakaya (Japanese pub) were clearly using them for different purposes.

・To bring out the umami flavor, cook at a low temperature.

・Use a high temperature to wake them up.

It's apparently very popular as a drink to sober up.

You can also enjoy a flavorful green tea cocktail by mixing tea brewed with cold water using loose leaves or tea bags with alcohol.
