It was a valuable opportunity for the children who will be responsible for the future to learn about coexistence with nature and expand their horizons through dietary education.

[From New York, a new type of Japanese tea that tastes like eating – THE NODOKA] THE NODOKA, born in Brooklyn, New York, is a new type of Japanese tea that you can enjoy as if you were eating it. Organic tea leaves grown by Shizuoka’s top producers are powdered, so you can easily enjoy the rich flavor of Japanese tea anytime, anywhere by simply mixing it with hot or cold water. Furthermore, since you can ingest all the nutrients from the tea leaves, it is both healthy and delicious. In addition to drinking it, there are also plenty of recipes that can be used in cooking, and we are proposing a new way to enjoy Japanese tea as if you were eating it. 【GLOBALTREE GROUP】 In a society where diverse people coexist, if we were to define the age group of people who need support, we would answer “all.” From toddlers to seniors, each age group has its own environment and support system.
