I started this blog to introduce Japanese cultures in English. I am Japanese man. The purpose of this blog is to show various Japanese cultures you can't read on guide book, TV or the other media. I want to introduce Japanese foods, natures, lifestyle, good place for sight seeing, and so on. More than 75 countries' people all over the world have checked this blog! Thank you so much! Moreover, I sometimes show a short story I have written on this blog. www.facebook.com/SeeMyJapan

Japanese lifestyle ~1~ The cha-bashira in the green tea
Today, I'm going to write about cha-bashira. You may know that Japanese people drink green tea.
Green tea is known as healthy beverage. It has a lot of vitamin C in it.We say green tea prevent
a person from cathcing a cold.
Can you see a stam of tea in the picture above? It is standing in the tea. We call it ''cha-bashira''.
Cha means tea. Bashira means a column.
When you pour the green tea, the stam of green tea stands in the green tea. But It is quite rare case.
Japanese people say you are ''so lucky'' if the stam of green tea stands in your green tea.
I have never had such green tea in my life.(I am 33 years old.)
You may already know about green tea, but I guess you don't know about this. So I introduced this.
