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.
