Sencha (green tea) for Shizuoka Prefecture residents
In Shizuoka Prefecture, tea comes out of the tap!?
It's nothing special, but it's common for people to drink sencha (green tea) during meals, snacks, and family get-togethers.
Especially during the winter, people not only drink sencha but also use it as a gargle.
This time, we will introduce the wonderful effects you can get from sencha! 
Boost your immunity and prevent colds and flu!
The catechin and theanine contained in sencha have antiviral and immune-boosting effects, and are said to help prevent influenza and colds.
Research conducted at universities and other institutions has shown that people who drink green tea almost every day have a 40% lower risk of catching influenza than those who drink little or no tea.
It also reduces the risk of cancer!
According to a study on "Green Tea and Gastric Cancer Risk" by the National Cancer Center's Cancer Prevention and Screening Research Center, women who drink five or more cups of green tea a day have a 21% lower risk of stomach cancer than those who drink less than one cup, and it was also reported that the risk tends to decrease the more frequently green tea is drunk.
It also has other great benefits, such as relaxation and beauty effects!
It also has many other beneficial effects, such as preventing fat accumulation, suppressing the rise in cholesterol and triglycerides, suppressing the rise in blood sugar and blood pressure, having antibacterial and antiviral effects, antioxidant effects, improving intestinal environment, thinning the blood, and anti-aging!
In particular, the umami component, theanine, is a type of amino acid that has attracted attention for its relaxing effects, stress relief, increased concentration, and improved sleep quality; one academic journal has even reported that theanine may improve sleep quality.
Green tea contains caffeine, which may keep you awake, but theanine helps to suppress excitement.
Sencha contains about 20mg of caffeine per 100g.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the acceptable daily intake of caffeine that is estimated to not have adverse health effects is 400 mg/day for adults and 300 mg/day for pregnant women, so you will not consume too much caffeine unless you drink a very large amount.
