Uji tea(宇治茶, うじちゃ) in a vending machine

In Japan there are a lot of vending machines for soft drinks on streets. Sometimes you will find more than 10 vending machines, when you walk less than 100 meters. It's too many? Yeah, something like that. Japanese like buying drinks by vending machines. 


Wow!! This vending machine has only one kind. All bottles are for Uji tea(宇治茶, うじちゃ), which is a famous tea of Kyoto. Without buying a juice, coke, neither coffee, you can enjoy the taste of Uji tea. Only one option, which means that they have confidence on the taste of Uji tea.

Yeah, I like it too. You can find this vending machine somewhere in Kyoto. I found it and took a photo around Kiyomizu-dera temple(清水寺, きよみずでら). It's within walking distance from our hostel.

If you go to that temple, please ask me where it is! I will definitely tell that to you!
