We
would like to familiarize as many people as possible with
facts about Japanese green tea. For that reason, we provide
an informative animation movie that even children will enjoy.
The story begins when a little girl named Chako goes to
the MaikoTea Store (Maikonocha) on an errand for her mother.
There, she discovers intriguing facts about Japanese green
tea from the knowledgeable Professor Teapot.
We welcome you to join Chako on her Tea Exploration Adventure.
The
animation movie was created with the help of students from
Kyoto Seika University Institute for Manga Studies. Kyoto
Seika University is the only university in Japan that boasts
a Faculty of Manga Studies.
Full

loves sweets. Born and raised in Kyoto.
