Japanese Green teas are quite rightly revered worldwide as some of the best teas on Earth. They are very different from Chinese Greens and it has reflections in the differences in the two cultures.
(Find out more about the differences between Japanese & Chinese Green tea -
Artisan Chinese tea is all about individual craftsmanship and a hundred different ways to make a tea whereas in Japan they have raised the overall quality level through standardisation and exacting control over every process. Interestingly, tea made in Taiwan seems to blend the two approaches!
The use of technology and a production line approach to maintain efficiency and reduce unwanted variability is something which the Japanese are famous for and it certainly produces tea which is crafted to fit an exacting flavour profile - rich with natural theanine and fresh minerality. The Japanese farmers are some of the most exacting producers we have ever witnessed and it is admirable how they control all of the elements to continually produce high quality tea despite nature's variables.
The issue that Japan is facing is that this approach engenders inflexibility and as the teahead's excitedly search for exclusive and small batch tea with individuality, the Japanese tea sales are stalling. Thankfully the farmers are making changes and more Black and Oolong tea experimentaion is happening. I am excited to watch this area of the market bring them success.
But whatever the future of other tea types, Japanese Greens are undisputed kings in the tea world and we thoroughly enjoyed sampling our way through the country.

Japan - Bountiful bamboo
T/I: 10:38:18
As the world's forest resources become depleted, forest
industries are starting to recognise the value of bamboo. Bamboo
is known for its ability to propagate. It grows fast, becoming
fully grown in just three years, whereas a tree of similar size
takes more than 20 years to mature.
There are 500 varieties of bamboo growing wild in Japan. Some
are thick, some are thin - and some have curious joints. They
are different in colour and size.
Bamboo has long been part of the daily lives of the Japanese.
It's used as a rugged construction material, but there are also
delicate musical instruments made of bamboo, and various
traditional crafts using spliced bamboo for creating tableware
and other products. Many traditional toys are also made of
bamboo, such as toy helicopters and kites.
The fast growth of bamboo can also cause problems. Overgrown
bamboo can obstruct sunlight, killing other plants or tree
roots. To grow high-quality bamboo, it is necessary to thin out
the grove.
Traditionally, Japanese have wrapped food in bamboo bark to
prevent spoiling. Now the unique components of bamboo are being
extracted to develop new types of anti-bacterial agents that are
friendly to the environment.
New medical products are also being developed that utilise the
effective components of bamboo leaves. The chemical structure of
bamboo leaves has been found to cleanse blood, help fight
fatigue, and improve kidney and liver functions. A new bamboo
leaf tea has also been developed.
The technique for making round bamboo into flat planks for
building material is also showing progress. Bamboo is hollow
inside and each type differs in diameter and in the spacing of
the joints. Bamboo needs to be flattened into standardised
planks before it can be marketed as a building material.
In the current process, bamboo that has been split in half
vertically is placed into high pressure ovens, then put through
a roller to flatten it out.
The resulting product meets building standards for flooring or
wall materials. Bamboo flooring is resistant against pests and
mould, as well as being flexible.
Bamboo is the symbol of Take-hara City. In Japanese, Take
means bamboo and hara means field. Bamboo lines the city's
main street, it's painted on buses and even designed as
telephone boxes.
The Bamboo Arts Centre exhibits items made from bamboo by local
craftsmen and women. Visitors are impressed by the pipe organ,
which towers seven metres high and contains 270 bamboo pipes.
The sounds are said to be warmer and softer than those from
metal pipes.
Studies on new uses of bamboo have only just begun. Continued
research and development may reveal even better ways to make the
best use of the world's bamboo resources.

A beautiful afternoon in Japan
About a month ago I had my first trip to the Japanese countryside. I went to rural Osaka Prefecture and visited the village of Shimogauchi, where my mother-in-law grew up. It was amazing and beautiful. Absolute night and day from the city life of Japan that I know.
There are some amazing vlogs about life in rural Japan. Check out :

Jason is a great vlogger and JET living in Shimane Prefecture.

A wonderful vlog based close to Shizuoka (I think).

Hirohito
Hirohito , referred to as Emperor Shōwa in Japan , was the 124th Emperor of Japan according to the traditional order, reigning from December 25, 1926, until his death in 1989. Although better known outside of Japan by his personal name Hirohito, in Japan he is now referred to primarily by his posthumous name Emperor Shōwa. The word Shōwa is the name of the era that corresponded with the Emperor's reign, and was made the Emperor's own name upon his death. In Japanese, the reigning Emperor is referred to without a personal name as his Majesty the Emperor or his current Majesty . The name Hirohito means abundant benevolence.

How to grow garlic | Garden Goals | Homebase
Creating an edible garden needn't be a chore, and with garlic used in an abundance of recipes, it's a great thing to keep stocked in your outdoor space. Garlic needs a couple of months of cool soil to get established, so planting in late autumn or early spring is a great way to ensure it has the right temperature to get started. By planting in October to November, you’ll be enjoying fresh potent cloves in early summer.
