| Chanohadou (茶の葉堂) |
As I mentioned in my previous entry, my husband and I visited Fukuoka, Japan in summer, 2025. This time, we visited Chanohadou (茶の葉堂), which is a small tea maker in Hirokawa, Yame, known for its carefully crafted Yame green tea and matcha. It offers a cozy space where visitors can enjoy tea, sweets, and even glimpse traditional stone‑ground matcha production.

Visiting Chanohadou was such a pleasant surprise. They carry a thoughtful selection of Yame green teas along with tea‑based sweets and small goods, and I loved sampling their cold‑brew green tea — it was so refreshing that I immediately bought a bag to take home.

I also tried their matcha soft serve for 480 yen and a cup of high‑quality cold Yame green tea for 300 yen, both simple but really well made.
They sprinkled matcha powder over the matcha soft serve, which made it feel more luxurious and special.
The cold green tea was gyokuro (玉露), a fancy Japanese green tea that’s shade‑grown, making it sweeter and more umami than regular tea.
After that, I wandered into their small production area, where I could watch how stone‑ground matcha is made.
A sign said that only 40 grams of matcha can be made per hour, which made me realize why stone‑milled matcha is so rare and expensive.
I even got to try hand‑grinding matcha myself, and the slow, rhythmic motion made the experience surprisingly calming and memorable.
Chanohadou is a small but worthwhile stop in Yame — great cold‑brew tea, matcha‑topped soft serve, and a rare chance to see stone‑ground matcha being made. It’s a quick visit that leaves a lasting impression.
What I purchased at Chanohadou
I ended up bringing home a few things from Chanohadou, each one reflecting the charm of Yame’s tea culture, and some of them were souvenirs for my friends. From cold‑brew green tea to matcha powder, a matcha shaker, and local pantry items, everything felt thoughtfully made and worth trying.
