Thank you to everyone in Matsuyama, Shikoku and Imabari!
I saw the sunrise and sunset of the Seto Inland Sea! I just got back from Imabari and Matsuyama. On the 10th, I had a Kirin Beverage seminar, and last night I had a tea party in my hometown of Imabari, and it turned into a little seminar. At night, many tea fans gathered at my acquaintance's house, and at first we drank beer, but halfway through we drank beer, and it turned into a tea party. The giraffe seminar the day before was attended by several local TV stations, and although I didn't watch it, the seminar was broadcast many times from evening to night. . . . . I ate sea bream sashimi, chicken yakitori, udon noodles, oden (the fish paste is delicious!), mandarin oranges, and more. I don't know why, but somewhere in my body, I miss the taste and smell of food I ate when I was a child. . . . Well, this week I'll be in Niigata from Tuesday, and then Hiroshima again soon! I am grateful that tea has brought me so many encounters and inspirations.
