Eighty-Eighth Night Shincha

We just received Shincha Kunpu and Houryoku and have started shipping your pre-orders. Both are called Eighty-Eighth Night Shinchas which refers to Shincha picked on the 88th day after the first day of spring in the traditional Japanese calendar, normally around May 2nd. The Eighty-Eighth Night - "Hachijuhachiya" in Japanese - is a special day in Japanese agriculture since it is considered about the time all plants begin to sprout.

If you didn’t pre-order, we still have a limited stock available, so don’t miss on this once a year opportunity!
