The Yamashiro region is the home of "Uji tea," a world-renowned green tea brand. As the birthplace of green tea, it is also home to a culture that blends a variety of history and traditions. It is a region that has inherited and developed the wonderful traditions and techniques of Uji tea, which has everything from weather conditions to production methods to quality, and it is a region where you can experience the "value of Uji tea" for yourself.
Under these circumstances, in order to make the Yamashiro region an even more proud region, it is necessary to proceed with long-term regional development that makes use of Uji tea, the "treasure" of the Yamashiro region. To advance this, the "Uji Tea Hometown Development Council" was established as a cross-sectional organization in cooperation with tea industry-related organizations and the government.
This council will continue to expand its circle of members, rediscover the greatness of Uji tea, and increase its historical and cultural value, while promoting the promotion of Uji tea and the development of the region that makes the most of Uji tea.
