Samsung Garden Shanglin Sanjin (our store) is a small shop in a village and town in Uji City, Kyoto Prefecture. According to the owner, it has a history of generations. Here you can learn about the Japanese tea ceremony culture and taste local tea. Of course, you can also buy specialties here.

Uji, a small city in Kyoto prefecture famous for matcha, is a famous matcha production area in Japan. Within a half-hour walk around Ujikawa, there are dozens of centuries-old matcha shops head office. Among the many matcha shops in Yuzhi, Samsung Garden Shanglin Sanjin has the longest history, and has been in business for more than 500 years. The current president, Mr. Sanjin Shanglin, is the 16th generation of heirs. He won the Kyoto Tea Championship in 1996 and the All-Japan Tea Teacher Award in 1998, which has a pivotal position in Uji. Samsung Garden Shanglin Sanjin on the first floor of our store sells Yuzhi tea and related products, and there is also a row of old wooden tea boxes; The second floor is a Yuzhi Tea Archive, showing the model of the former transport of Yuzhi Tea and the tools of ancient tea picking and making tea. In some ancient documents, you can also see the origins of historical figures such as Fengchen Xiuji, Tokugawa Kamakang and Ida Zhengzong. In Uji, maybe tourists are more willing to go to the famous net red shops such as Nakamura Fuji, Ito Jiuyouweimen, and Yuli, but I still recommend everyone to come to Samsung Garden Shanglin Sanjin to experience the real matcha, in order to maintain the culture and history of the store, Samsung Garden has no other stores in Japan, nor does it sell tea in supermarkets and shopping malls. Only in Yuji store can taste the matcha dessert made of "offering the first past" matcha powder. "first past" is the highest level of matcha. The first past as the name implies is the matcha used by General Tokugawa's family. You must come to Yuji to taste this 500-year-old history. Matcha shop!

Handmade matcha here is very famous, and it is a century-old shop, just the atmosphere, we feel a respect for matcha raw. There are a lot of matcha products here.

People who go to Yuzhi Equality Hospital should pass by this Samsung Garden Shanglin Sanjin Yuzhi Store. The boss will speak a little Chinese and will very enthusiastically introduce guests to the small exhibition hall on the second floor to see the history of their store. They will also be very proud to say that they used to provide tea to the general's house. Indeed, this Yuzhi store in Shanglin Sanjin has a history of 500 years according to the information of their store. Many publicity and reports may be written in this way in China. It is estimated that most of the matcha in Shanglin's house may be written here. However, the careful people may also notice that there is a store called お Tea のかんばやし next door, and there is also a small sign that says that the descendants of Shanglin are operating! (Sounds like a face of pride and contempt for other shops...) Maybe, what many people won't know is: for Shanglin's matcha, there is a shop called "Shanglin Chunsong". Listen confused, right? What is the relationship between these three? Who is the real Shanglin family-run tea shop? Come, make a list: Shanglin Chunsong's 450 years of business can be found. The history of the Edo era is that the president is indeed the surname Shanglin お Tea のかんばやし The founder of the business for 400 years only knows that the current president is Shanglin Chunsong's brother and the surname is Shanglin Shanglin Sanjin. The original operator is called Fuji Village. Since the Edo era, the name has been changed, calling itself Shanglin, and naming the store as Shanglin Sanjin, but why the name has not been found... No records have been found. The current operating family is Tanaka, probably took over during the Dazheng period. For the authentic struggle of Shanglin, the tea shop, It seems to be the most powerful struggle between お Tea のかんばやし and Shanglin Sanjin... But now Shanglin Sanjin's business strategy seems to be more flexible, and there are the most tourists... This is the last word. However, many old shops in Kyoto have a variety of "historical transformation" and family disputes. Who is true and who is fake is not very clear. Anyway, it doesn't affect the taste and quality of each family's own matcha carefully. (Photo by Paws Times Light STUDIO)

When visiting Yuzhi, I accidentally hit into a matcha shop. According to the boss, their store has been more than 500 years old. The general imperial use hanging at the door of the store is not false. The matcha made in the store is indeed indeed. The matcha has been supplied to several generals in the era of the Shogun. He has also won many matcha competition awards and now he has been 16 generations, and he has been focusing on only making good matcha for 500 years. The second floor of the store also specially set up a small tea culture information room, the information room is full of the store's various honors, and some previous tea picking work, not only introduced their own, but also the entire history of Yuzhi Matcha. Perhaps this is the legendary craftsman spirit, only one thing in life, open a good store, not excessive commercialization. Inadvertently took a history science class, this chance encounter is really pleasant.
