About Tea In Tokushima Prefecture
Tokushima Prefecture is located in the eastern part of the Shikoku region. Mountains cover 80% of the prefecture’s land area, and the climate varies between the northern region (Seto Inland Sea climate—warm and dry) and the southern region (Pacific Ocean climate—rainy), which are divided by the Shikoku Mountains.
“Awa Bancha,” produced in Kamikatsu Town and Naka Town for over 1,200 years, is known nationwide as a rare post-fermented tea that undergoes lactic acid fermentation.
In addition to Oboke tea, grown in the mountainous areas of Miyoshi City, you can also discover local specialties such as the region’s signature citrus fruits—including sudachi and yuzu—as well as other products that reflect the unique environment of mountains and clear streams.
