Japanese Green Tea

W

hen is the best time to drink tea? In Japan, it’s the beverage of choice to wake up in the morning and drink after meals, or during work. This month Fukuoka Now focuses on green tea, the national drink that is an essential part of Japan’s food culture. Access our website to learn about the drink’s history, varieties, how to enjoy it, how to store it, its benefits, and where to buy it in Fukuoka.

soon as they’re picked, and oxidize. Green tea is not fermented, so it preserves the nutrients, including catechin, carotene, and vitamins.

Here are some of green tea’s health benefits.

THE BENEFITS OF GREEN TEA Tea is a perennial shrub in the Theaceae family.

Red pekoe tea is produced by fully fermenting the leaves, oolong tea is produced by partially fermenting the leaves, and green tea is not fermented at all. The tea leaves are fermented as

1. Prevents tooth decay and bad breath Catechin limits the growth of the bacteria causing tooth decay and freshens the mouth.

This effect is best achieved by drinking it after meals.

2. A pick-me-up that sobers you up The caffeine provides a stimulus and clears the head. This effect is best achieved by using

B

hotter water.

3. Effectively burns body fat The caffeine promotes the metabolism of fat.

Drinking green tea and engaging in physical activity burns up body fat.

4. Beautifies the skin Drinking tea maintains the skin’s elasticity, and the vitamin C strengthens the capillaries. It also improves the skin’s ability to retain warmth.

5. Prevents hardening of the arteries and high blood pressure Tea reduces the cholesterol in the blood and prevents high blood pressure.

6. Protects against colds Green tea strengthens the body’s defenses against infection, so using it as a gargle protects against viruses.

7. Prevents aging Tea’s strong antibacterial properties limit oxidation in the body and maintains a pH balance by promoting the body’s alkalinity.

8. Prevents food poisoning The catechin has a powerful effect on the bacteria causing food poisoning. It also regulates intestinal functions. It was a wise decision to pair sushi with green tea.

RECOMMENDED TEA SHOPS Fukuoka City has many shops specializing in tea, including long-established tea merchants and new cafe style shops. We shot this month’s cover at Tagashira Chaho on B1F of the IMS Building.

WHAT’S WITH THAT? READERS SPEAK OUT!

Whippersnappers Are Saving The World!

Matt Simpson, USA, Nice Guy/Teacher

“I

f you can’t fix the environment, please stop breaking it!” Severn said to the world leaders at the Earth Summit in Rio in 1992. She was only twelve years old.

Page 65 of the Sunshine English Textbook for second-year, public JHS Students paraphrases one Ms. Severn Cullis-Suzuki, known better, perhaps as “The Girl Who Silenced the World for 5 Minutes.” How did she earn such an eminent moniker? She dared to browbeat every adult on Earth for six minutes, and forty seconds! Google her. Have a listen. I dare, YOU! The people who put together the textbooks, here in Japan, are on the right educational track. Ms. Cullis-Suzuki is a choice, modern heroine to include in our children’s reading for plenty of great reasons.

She formed the Environmental Children’s

Organization, ECO, at the age of nine. She hit the world stage with this speech gone viral-video, at twelve. She was an intelligent, confident, plain spoken, and perhaps most importantly tuned-in, and turned-on to science, girl. She is a “go getter” and as such, she is exactly the role-model I want my kid to emulate. Don’t you? The Board of Education does. That’s why she’s in the book!

However, there are two bits of irony here which raise my proverbial dodesho eyebrow.

First is that this role-model is Canadian. Yes, she is ethnically half Japanese, and this is an English textbook, but I must ask; where are the Japanese teenage role-models? I know they exist. Why not include some in the textbooks? I want my kid to be proud that he is Japanese. Kids are smart. They know what we are saying. Can we expect our children to

develop the confidence to boldly lecture the big, scary world of adults, if we have given them no role models with which they identify?

The second bit of irony is that Severn’s poignant 1992 message directly addresses adults. So I have pulled it out of our children’s textbooks, to EChO it here, now, again.

You see, JHS students walk to school, rain or shine. They don’t use a drop of gas, not even oil for a bicycle chain. They wear no make-up.

Their hairstyles are simple. They possess a basic uniform wardrobe. They rely on paper, and pencils, not fancy electronic gizmos. They have a simple chair, and desk. They recycle all their garbage.

They even reuse functional, but aging structures propped up with earthquake proofing, which have minimal landscaping, fluorescent lights, and mostly manila paint. They

clean with brooms, water, newspaper, cloth, and very few detergents. They play on sand playgrounds which require no sprinklers, or fertilizers. Message-boards have no cork. Solar panels are on the roofs. Getting the idea?

Students tolerate summer’s heat, and humidity sans air conditioning with few lucky exceptions, and only recently, enjoy ceiling fans. Likewise, the winter cold is endured relying only upon warm clothes, and the heat of each other to warm their classrooms. There is no central heating. No hot water, or papertowels are used.

They eat a diet largely of rice, and vegetables. Liver is on the lunch menu, fairly regularly. You don’t eat liver. Do you? I didn’t think so.

They drink tea, or water from a thermos. Nope, not supporting any fast food businesses, or plastic bottle vendors here. Lunch is catered in reusable containers, and served on trays with metal utensils; no napkins; no paper plates.

I am NOT complaining about, or criticizing the school system. Honorably, our children are taught to lead a highly responsible lifestyle. In fact, Fukuoka’s Junior High School students are environmental messiahs, saving the world from impending disaster, one day at a time. These kids deserve every adult’s deepest respect, fervent gratitude, and cooperative support in their daily

efforts to save our dear Earth.

So the next time we are idling a huge, fuel-burning SUV’s engine, or enjoying air conditioning, or a heater, or burning up gasoline waiting in line at the McDonald’s drivethrough within walking distance of our house, or trotting around a balmy shopping mall in the dead of winter, or sitting on a toasty bus, train, taxi, or toilet seat, or reclining in a comfy, leather office chair, let us take a moment to think of our precious, little angels. Let us ask ourselves, are we adults doing all we can to save our progeny from their plight? After all, it is us who are supposed to be our children’s heroes, and heroines, isn’t it? Dodesho?

る。それなのに子どもに大人の世界に向かって 説教することを望むべきなのだろうか？ 2 つ目のポイントは、92 年のメッセージが 大人たちに直接投げかけられたということ。 だから私はそれを改めて戒めたいと思う。 ご存知のように、中学生は雨の日も晴れの日 も徒歩か自転車で学校に通っている。彼らはガ ソリン一滴すら使わない。制服を着て化粧もし ないし、髪型もシンプル。主に紙と鉛筆を使っ た生活をしており、パソコンや電気装置などと は無縁だ。木と金属で出来た簡単な机とイスに 座っているし、全てのゴミをリサイクルしてい る。掃除だって箒やぞうきん、それに水、新聞 と少々の洗剤があれば充分。彼らはスプリンク ラーや肥料を必要としない砂場で遊び、屋根に

はソーラーパネルが備え付けられている。最 近は一部シーリングファンを使用するところ もあるようだが、暑くて湿気の多い夏場もクー ラーはない。団扇でさえ禁じられている。冬 場は防寒着や、クラスメイトと暖をとって寒 さを耐えるのだ。セントラルヒーティングも お湯も紙タオルもない環境だ。給食は主に米 と野菜。レバーはランチメニューとしては一 般的だ。お茶や水には魔法瓶を使っている。 学校ではファストフードやペットボトルは良 しとされないのだ。再利用できる容器に取り 分けられ、ナプキンも紙皿も使わない。 私は何も学校の制度について批判している わけではない。少なくとも我が家の子ども達 は責任あるライフスタイルをすごすよう立派

に教えられている。実際に、福岡の中学生達 はいつか起こりうる災害から世界を救ってく れる環境保護の救世主だろう。尊い地球を救 う日々の努力において、子ども達は、全ての 大人から尊敬や感謝、協力的なサポートを受 ける権利があるはず。 エアコンを気軽に使い、歩ける距離なのに バスや電車、タクシーを使ったり、エンジン をつけたままマクドナルドのドライブスルー に列をなしたり ...。大切な天使たちのために、 もう一度改めて考えてみないかい？どうやっ たら私たちの子孫を暗い現実から救うことが できるのかを。結局子ども達をヒーローやヒ ロインにするのは私たち大人ってことだよ ね、ドォーデショ？

Michelle Zacharias

M

ichelle Zacharias is a Canadian artist and has lived in Japan for over 20 years. She works mainly in colored pencil. Although Michelle has often found her intricate and colorful style too conservative for some and too artsy for others, she was awarded a prize last year at the International Exhibition of Art and Design in Kyoto. Michelle maintains that her art has never been commercial or conceptual – for her, art is about enjoying the work you do. Having grown up in Winnipeg, a real “incubator” for artistic communities, Michelle often thinks about how to encourage artists in Fukuoka to talk and share ideas.

She hopes that her upcoming exhibition with Elida Maria Matsumoto at Konya Gallery will contribute towards this dialogue.

Konya’s flexible space is the perfect place to display colorful art to stave off the winter blues. The exhibition will take place from 2/11~2/17. Make sure to check the webpage for details of an artists talk: http://konya2023.travelers-project.info/.
