● Shizuoka Tea Loved by Shogun
Shizuoka City is known for being the place where Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Tokugawa Shogunate, spent his later years. It is said that Ieyasu kept a tea repository called the "Ocha Toya Yashiki" (Tea Pottery Mansion) in Abe Oku and stored tea presented as "Goyocha" (tribute tea). The tea was stored in such a way that it retained its rich flavor in the cool environment at an elevation of 1,200 meters, and it is said that Ieyasu greatly enjoyed its deep and complex flavors.
