Kazutaka Miura Director
Born into a 4-generation tea farming family in Shizuoka, I pursued a career in the media industry, working for a publishing company and a PR firm. At some point, through a series of fateful coincidences, I became captivated by tea and entered the world of Japanese tea.
I joined a Japanese tea company managed by a friend who was the 3rd generation in Shizuoka. At the company, I worked in sales and PR based in Tokyo, where I initiated various initiatives.
In November 2021, I decided to embark on an independent journey and launched the Japanese tea business, “Japan Tea Guide(Nihoncha Seikatsu).”
At Japan Tea Guide, I personally travel around Japan, carefully selecting and introducing shops that I believe everyone would love to visit. When you’re on the lookout for cafes or exploring the world of Japanese tea, I encourage you to make use of Japan Tea Guide. We will continue to deliver exciting topics that will make your life with Japanese tea even more enjoyable.

Having worked for a newspaper company and being deeply involved in editing, sports, and cultural projects, I thrived in a fast-paced environment unique to the newspaper industry. Amidst the hectic pace, I found solace in the calming moments of tea time, which became an essential part of my routine.
As my interest in tea grew, I eventually joined a specialized tea shop that caters to tea enthusiasts from around the world. At the tea shop, I had the privilege to offer approximately 200 varieties of tea in the salon and also served as a school instructor for over a decade.
I conducted tea classes covering a wide range of genres, including green tea, oolong tea, black tea, herbal tea, and more. My expertise lies in tailoring custom-made courses and creating unique tea recipes that cater to the specific needs of clients and address their tea-related concerns.

I am a 21st generation trainee of Japanese tea instructors. I was truly captivated by the allure of Japanese tea after being deeply moved by the taste of “Yama no Ibuki” tea, a unique tea variety. As a devoted Japanese tea enthusiast, I have tasted over 100 different types of Japanese tea, including rare and lesser-known cultivars. Exploring these various teas has only strengthened my passion for Japanese tea.
While I enjoy visiting Japanese tea cafes, my true sanctuary lies in the tea gardens, where I feel a profound connection with the essence of tea. It is a place that holds a special significance for me. Among the many tea varieties, “Yama no Ibuki,” “Shoushu,” and “Yamanami” hold a special place in my heart, as they each offer a taste that I deeply cherish.
