Akimoto Manatsu Hosts Cooking in Shizuoka Tea Fields Using Tsuyuhikari

In a delightful fusion of nature and cuisine, popular entertainer Akimoto Manatsu, the official supporter of JA Town, recently ventured into the lush tea fields of Shizuoka for an exciting episode of her YouTube show "Yurufuwa Time." Airing on May 6th at 6 PM, this episode highlights the versatility of tea in cooking, specifically with the exquisite Tsuyuhikari tea variety.

Set against the vibrant green backdrop of Shizuoka's renowned tea plantations, Akimoto begins her culinary journey by preparing a trio of innovative tea-based dishes. The first dish is "Chahan," a flavorful rice cooked with tea leaves, infusing each grain with the aromatic essence of Tsuyuhikari. Next, she creates a delightful tempura using tea’s fresh new buds, offering a crisp and light-textured dish that perfectly captures the essence of spring. Lastly, Akimoto prepares an interesting "Tea Leaf Omelette," which cleverly incorporates the tea leaves into a fluffy egg dish, demonstrating that tea can be more than just a beverage—it can be a key ingredient in various recipes.

As she cooks, the episode features heartwarming reactions from local tea producers who sample her creations. They express their admiration for the dishes, sharing their excitement about discovering new ways to enjoy tea. One producer enthusiastically remarks, “It’s incredible to see tea used in such creative ways, and we hope this encourages more people to incorporate tea into their dining experiences.” This collective joy not only showcases the culinary possibilities of tea but also aims to promote greater tea consumption within the community.
