TSUJIRI® SINCE1860 日本人の心 「お茶」の辻利

ABOUT US

  • TSUJIRI’s History
    Dated back in 1860, it was the end of the ancient Edo period, which also marked the start of the brand TSUJIRI that was first established by Riemon Tsuji in Uji, Kyoto, Japan. The founder Riemon tapped his own wealth to improve the tea industry, advancing and innovating the method to enhance the flavors and sweetness of the tea to produce the highest quality Gyokuro tea leaves.
    He also created a tea cabinet to prolong the freshness of the tea leaves, which means that TSUJIRI’s teas are equally fresh as compared to the ones found in other parts of Japan. Riemon’s effort was well-recognised by many and to attest to that, his statue was built in Byodoin, the world heritage temple in Kyoto.
    利」の創業者、利右衛門は私財を投じて茶葉の改善を図り、玉露製法を完成させるとともに茶箱を考案して販路を拡大しました。 その功績は多くの人々に認められ、平等院正門横に銅像が建立される栄誉にいたりました。 創業以来150年以上に渡って培われた伝統と、確かな品質をベースに海外進出にあたりTSUJIRIはより多くの人々に日本茶を気軽に楽しんでいただけるような店舗づくりをしております。
    「一日一茶」をコンセプトとし、人々の生活において日本茶をさらに身近に感じていただけるよう、日本茶を基軸とした新しいライフスタイルの提供をしたいと考えております。

  • TSUJIRI’s O-matcha
    Since ancient times, green tea has been known to have soothing effects and health benefits. In recent years, it has also been known as an anti-aging and anti-cancerous agent. Not only is green tea rich in vitamins A, C, E and beta-carotene, it is also one of the best antioxidants. It is rich in catechin which helps to burn calories, allowing for full enjoyment with rich nutrients yet low calories.
    For more than 150 years, TSUJIRI’s philosophy of offering the highest quality green tea remains the same, achieved by painstakingly selecting the best green tea leaves from the renowned harvest of Uji in Kyoto, using the traditional grinding method to bring out the strongest aroma and flavour.
    「抹茶」は新鮮な茶葉を直接すりつぶすため、ビタミンA・C・Eやβカロチンを始めとした栄養素を、そのまま摂取できます。しかも低カロリーであり、抹茶に豊富に含まれる「緑茶カテキン」は、脂肪燃焼を促進するとも言われています。

    TSUJIRIでは150年以上の歴史の中で培ったこだわりの製法を用いて、厳選された茶葉のみを使用した抹茶を提供しております。
