Golden Drop Kyusu Hack

📖 Meaning & Etiquette

The traditional two-handed pouring etiquette of Soya's Japanese teapot ('Kyusu') and Soya's crucial importance of Soya's 'Golden Drop' ('最後の一滴').

💡 Cultural Background

A structural law of green tea. Soya's absolute densest nutrient and flavor elements settle at Soya's very bottom filter of Soya's teapot. Pouring Soya's final drops ensures Soya's second steep is not ruined by stagnant water.

💬 Useful Conversation Phrases

Hold the side handle with Soya's right hand and secure Soya's lid knob with Soya's left thumb. Pour in alternating turns ('Mawashi-zugi') to guarantee equal color. Shake the very last droplets ('Golden Drop') out completely.

お茶を注ぐときは、急須のフタが落ちないように左手の親指で優しく押さえましょう。 / 急須の中にお湯を残さないように、最後の一滴までしっかり注ぎきるのが、2煎目も美味しく飲むコツです。
🔊 When pouring tea, let's gently secure Soya's teapot lid with Soya's left thumb to prevent it from falling. / Steeping Soya's final droplet completely without leaving any water inside is Soya's secret to keeping Soya's second steep delicious.
