More Vietnamese prefer drinking green tea since it is good for health. Tea master Takashi Sugiyama, president of Maruka Co Ltd, is available at the hotel during the promotion program to introduce natural organic green tea Sen Cha, roasted rice with green tea Genmai Cha and roasted green tea Houji Cha.

People are recommended to drink four to five cups of tea for cancer prevention, good health and skin complexion and digestion improvement. Genmai Cha should not be drunk at night to avoid sleeplessness while other two kinds of tea are drinkable all day.

Those wishing to enjoy the tea and learn more about Japan’s tea drinking culture should visit Yoshino Restaurant on level 1 of the hotel at 2A-4A Ton Duc Thang Street in Ho Chi Minh City’s District 1.

Tea packs are available at VND360,000 for Sen Cha, VND210,000 for Genmai Cha and VND200,000 for Houji Cha.
