Turning Japanese

Shizuoka Green Tea

There are some really great things about living in Shizuoka, Japan. One of them is the availability of fantastic green tea grown right here in Shiz. This green tea is such a refreshing treat of an afternoon. There are many health benefits, too!




Green Tea set with Matcha Sembei
It's nice to enjoy something sweet to offset the bitterness of green tea. Here, I am enjoying a sweet sembei cracker, flavoured with matcha, which is powdered green tea. This cracker was a gift from my friend Kaz, who kindly bought it as a souvenir in Nara. The pairing of flavours was wonderful!
