The more I visit the inaka "countryside" of Japan, the more I wonder about how these areas will weather the ageing and depopulation trends. Fortuitously, this project — which is sponsored by the Japanese government and d:matcha — fell in my lap. I had free rein to talk about a topic related to Wazuka and tea, so I chose to investigate the effort being made to revitalize the area and how it's longtime residents feel about newcomers.
If you're interested in tea products from d:matcha, you can use the coupon code "LifeWhereImFromDM" at https://dmatcha.com/ to get 10% off your order of over $150. I don't receive anything additional if you use the code, it simply gives you 10% off a single order.
