綠茶是靜岡知名的特產,而綠茶不單單是飲品,還是深植在當地文化與居民日常的重要部分。

來到濱松市,可以體驗名為茶歌舞伎的傳統品茶遊戲。這項傳統遊戲的玩法,是由數名遊戲參賽者去猜現在喝的茶為什麼種類。
茶歌舞伎在好幾世紀以前便已流傳在士族貴族與僧侶間,是相當有歷史的品茶遊戲。
本文將介紹茶歌舞伎該怎麼玩,還有要到哪裡玩。

Chakabuki competitions are usually hosted by tea shops that can provide several types of green tea for the game. The venue can be the tea shop itself or a different location. In order for the game to be truly entertaining, a minimum of four or five participants is required.
The host introduces five types of green tea that are marked with five Japanese characters: 花 (Flower), 鳥 (Bird), 風 (Wind), 月 (Moon), and 客 (Guest).

The participants will first smell all the types of green tea in turn and take notes about their distinctive features. Some teas have a deep fragrance while others smell light and refreshing; you’ll want to write down all the details you notice.

The five types of tea are prepared in random order. As a rule, the same water temperature is used for all the teas to ensure equal conditions. Water temperature has a decisive role in brewing truly delicious tea and, usually, each type of tea requires a different water temperature.

The participants will taste each type of tea and have to guess which tea they’ve just tasted! They answer by pasting stickers with the kanji character of each tea onto the answer sheet.

At the end, the answers are revealed and the person who has the largest number of correct answers is the winner!
Playing Chakabuki is extremely entertaining. You’ll be amazed at all the subtle differences between tea varieties! It’s a great opportunity to learn to truly appreciate tea with all your senses.
