Yajimaen Green Tea and Nori Seaweed Gift Set

There are many places all over Japan where green tea is cultivated. Everyone has heard about the matcha from Uji in Kyoto or the hectares upon hectares of tea plantations that offer the world's best sencha tea in Shizuoka, but tea history in Japan doesn't stop there. Another of the best areas is Saitama Prefecture and Yajimaen, based in the city of Ageo, has been producing excellent tea there for almost a century. And as you can taste with the Yajimaen Green Tea and Nori Seaweed Gift Set, its claim to excellence is well-founded!

The Yajimaen Green Tea and Nori Gift Seaweed Set contains a can of Tsuyu no Izumi sencha green tea, the brand's flagship tea, accompanied by a pack of 35 grilled nori laver sheets from the Ariake Sea off Kyushu, one of Japan's leading seaweed-producing areas. Tea and seaweed are often sold from the same companies in Japan, mostly because back in the 1940s and 1950s, packaging technology was not as good and both tea and nori needed similar specialized handling. Sample two of Japan's most characteristic flavors with this pack or gift this gourmet treat to a friend.
