Kawahara Chagyo (川原茶業) is a century-old tea producer and wholesaler based in Ureshino City, Saga Prefecture, founded in 1914 during the Taisho era. Operating under the brand name 'Nabeshimahan' (鍋島藩), the company channels the prestige of the former Nabeshima feudal domain — historically associated with some of Japan's finest teas — to produce and sell premium Ureshino tea. Ureshino is renowned for its tamaryokucha (玉緑茶), a gyokuro-style curled-leaf tea grown in the region's characteristic mountain mist and fertile volcanic soils, prized for its natural sweetness and concentrated umami. Under representative director Kawahara Hideaki, the company maintains a certified organic food processing factory, uses -25°C freezers to preserve seasonal freshness year-round, and ships nationwide via direct mail-order. In addition to their signature Ureshino teas, Kawahara Chagyo produces 'Nabeshima Domain Matcha' (鍋島藩の抹茶), a stone-ground matcha celebrating the historical tea culture of their region.

Shohokuen is a historic Uji tea maker founded in 1645 in Kohata, Uji. The company manufactures and sells Japanese tea, pairing deep Uji roots with a modern focus on safety management, organic certification, and export-ready production.
