We are delighted to share that our founder, Tamaki Natsume, has been honored with the Rising Star Award at the Amelias Startup Grant Program, organized by the Women’s Startup Lab Impact Foundation Japan.
The award celebrates women entrepreneurs who demonstrate both innovation and social impact, and who show strong potential for future growth. Our project, Shizuoka Matcha Therapy, was highly recognized for its vision of bringing authentic Shizuoka-grown matcha to the world as a form of “drinkable well-being.”
This recognition as a woman entrepreneur inspires us to further pursue our mission of connecting Japan’s tea heritage with global wellness and contributing to sustainable lifestyles worldwide.
