Kanbayashi Shunsho

Kanbayashi Shunsho Honten, founded during the Eiroku period, boasts over 450 years of history as a prestigious Uji tea house. Since the late 14th century, when Uji tea gained prominence under the Ashikaga Shogunate, the Kanbayashi family has been dedicated to crafting exceptional tea. Now led by Kanbayashi Shunsho XIV, the 14th generation continues to honor tradition while innovating, preserving the legacy of Uji tea and advancing Japan’s tea culture.
