Who is Yasuhiko Kiya?

One of the best Japanese tea from Yame village
 

For Japanese tea, I would like to introduce Yasuhiko Kiya and his store as one of the most famous Japanese teas, Yame-cha in this story series.

 

KIYAHOYUEN started its business in 1931 by Mr. Yasuhiko Kiya’s grandfather and the current president Mr. Yasuhiko Kiya is the 3rd generation.  He just turned 56 years old in January, 2022. It was 17 years ago when he became the president at the age of 39 years old.  After he graduated college, he worked for one of the large tea companies for 4 years to study the tea business and its industry. After that, he entered Kiyahoyuen and worked under his father, who was the president for 13 years, to learn all about Yame tea to take over the family business.....
