宇治清水

この間友達がNYを訪れた時に、京都からお土産に持ってきてくれた一保堂茶舗のグリーンティーです。

お茶の粒子が細かくて甘さも絶妙で「これから毎年買うだろう。」と思うぐらいおいしかったです。カルピコと並んでこの暑い夏を乗り切るために一役買ってくれました。

今日はLabor dayで学校はお休みだったのですが、涼しく過ごしやすい一日でした。

This is what we call "Grean Tea" in Japan, which is a mixture of powdered green tea and sugar.We usually drink it dissolving in the cold water especially in summer. My friend who visited NY the other day gave it to me as a souvenir from Kyoto. Basically, I like "Grean tea" very much, and this one made by "Ippo-dou", a famous tea house in Kyoto, is the best of all I ever drunk. I think I will somehow get this every summer from now on. This and Calpico helped me a lot to survive this hot summer. Today was a labor day, so I did not have any class. It was a cool, comfortable day.
