ケルビンさん!!!~~ 静岡はなにを特別か。。。? (KeLW-SAN!!! What is special about Shizuoka?)
Glad you asked.(I think im asking myself. haha.)
Shizuoka has claimed many records, both domestic (In Japan) and worldwide.
In Isetan, I took brocheres about how many records Shizuoka has.(They have so many records, is not enough to put in 4 pages. But is more colourful then the website ones.)
For more infomation, pls go to their “Shizuoka, top in Japan” List.

ね。。。。。。ケルビンさん。あなたはなにをかく? (So. KeLW-san. What did you buy?)
すおですか。Well. I bought one Green tea(Sencha) Which is specially made to put inside cold water and Brown Rice Sencha (Genmai Sencha).
Although Sencha is not really much of a high standard, but is quality is excellent.!
Also, I bought some Wasabi.
I realized that the Wasabi we eat in Singapore is commonly horse raddish and not Wasabi itself. The plant have to be grated.
Wasabi only grows on the foot of the mountain, where clean and fresh natural water is found.
Putting Pictures later. Pls bear with it!!
