Kyushu tea prefecture known both for large sencha output and rare pan-fired kamairicha.

About the region

Miyazaki is one of the top crude-tea prefectures and keeps the pan-fired tradition alive in places like Gokase, where kamairicha is made in small lots.

Visit note: Gokase's mountain fields are among the highest tea areas in Kyushu.
