Premium Hand-picked Gyokuro
Among premium gyokuro, "premium hand-picked gyokuro" are those that are carefully plucked by hand, leaving small leaves (frost caps) and folding the tender shoots in the naturally-tailored garden.

shelf cover culture
This is a method of cultivation using a framework made of bamboo, iron pipes, etc., covered with reed, straw, straw, straw, or chemical fibers to block sunlight until it becomes dark.

picking by hand
This is the process of carefully plucking the tender shoots of the tea plant by hand, leaving the small leaves (frost caps) and breaking them. The efficiency is not good, but the quality of the shoots is very good.

state-owned gardens
It is a tea garden that utilizes the natural form of tea. It is also called a "hand-picked garden" because the sprouts are picked and harvested by hand. Because harvesting is done once a year, it produces high quality tea.
