Tea Instructor Promotes Tosa Tea via Kitchen Car

A certified Japanese tea instructor in Kōchi Prefecture operates a kitchen-car café called Tosa Charyō Yama no Tomoshibi to promote local Tosa tea producers. The mobile setup, which draws long lines at local events, allows the operator to sell and educate consumers directly about the region's tea character—described as having crisp astringency and clean aftertaste. The venture positions tea producer support as a core business model for a specialty-tea retailer.
