March 31st-April 5th China, Fujian, Tea Trip 
I went to Makuhari Messe Foodex which started this week. This is to meet the president of "Yuan Tai Tea Industry" who will take care of me on my trip to Fujian and tea from the end of this month.
I have been on friendly terms with him for the past ten years, and have toured tea plantations, factories, research institutes, etc. in China together. Without the president's escort, there are many places where you can't enter, so he is a very important person for the tour in China.
His wife is a tea researcher and has written books, and is famous in China. ～～～～～
I didn't have much time at the venue to see many booths, but I went to the India and Sri Lanka corners to say hello. It was a nostalgic reunion with many acquaintances.
I have a lot of seminars these days, so I can't go to Fujisawa for a long time.
