Mothers Day Matcha Box with Tea Gift Set

What a Wonderful way to show her that you care, by giving her this set that will teach her how to prepare and enjoy real true Japanese Matcha.

Each piece is painstakingly hand made and the Matcha here is so very good,
I purchased this set for myself last month and I can vow for the quality of this set.
The matcha has a delicate yet full bodied flavor that is unique to this grade of Japanese Green Tea.
I especially enjoy the hand made/hand signed matcha cup, which fits perfectly
in my hand, it is made of thickly glazed stoneware, and each one is a original piece of artwork, no two are ever alike.
The tools are of note also, both the Tea scoop and Matcha Wisk are well constructed from Bamboo and will last a lifetime of tea ceremonies at your house...
I have enjoyed my set daily for over a month now and still have alot of matcha powder left.

All of these reasons are why I am offering this high end Japanese Tea Ceremony Matcha Set for your

Mother on her Special Day,
It is one gift worthy of her and all she has done for you.

About this Japanese Tea Company

Ippodo Tea Company The origin of Ippodo dates back to 1717, when founder Ihei Watanabe established a tea shop called OMIYA at Teramachi Nijo, close to the Imperial Palace in Kyoto.

The Ippodo Tea Company has been providing the highest quality Japanese green tea for 3 centuries. The name Ippodo was given by Prince Yamashina and translates to mean "perserve one." It was his wish that Ippodo preserve their existing rich taste of their tea and always produce only the highest quality.

P.S. if you would like me to add a special note, just let me know and its done for you at no extra cost.

Be sure to place your orders by Sunday March 4th to ensure delivery by Mother's Day!

Well hello again!

I am happy to finally have some time to sit with a cup of Matcha Japanese Green Tea, and have a chat, I have to admit I have been extremely busy as of late, but I'm loving every minute of it,

the reason I have been missing in action is that I have been developing my second business venture, which has had me delving into the eastern cultures, researching, learning & tasting,

hunting for the perfection I seek for this project.

I am also hand coding the entire site, which is quite a task, fun and involved, it really keeps my creative right brain happy.

For the past month, I handed over Sushi & Japanese Market to E. Yomochi - my sushi chef extraordinaire partner, to run.

He has been doing a superb job, even though he is doing sushi full time, taking care of orders and

running the show.

I will be back helping out here and there, especially with customer communications, because that's the funnest part for me, as well as getting your orders all packaged up with little surprises and such...

Sushi

Thanks for joining me, the beginning of this week has been a busy one here at
Sushi & Japanese Market,
here is a run down of the most current happenings:

This Monday (2-4-08), I sent out our February Newsletter, and It's response has been great! You can view it via our
Newsletter Signup page.
This months feature is Japanese Noodles!
With explanations of the most common, Soba, Udon, Ramen, Somen and Okinawan Soba.

At the storefront
To accompany this months theme, I have also found and added a whole bunch of
Japanese Noodles
Japanese Soba - Buckwheat & Cha(green tea)Soba
Japanese Udon - Thick White Round Noodle
Japanese Somen - Very Thin usually white
Japanese Noodle Servers
Maru Zaru Soba Servers - Square and Round Shaped Zaru
Zaru sets - Unique, Stylish sets, with compartments for all of your different toppings and a bachi dipping bowl for your Tsuyu sauce.
Bamboo Zaru - Totally Natural bamboo Zaru, hand made.
Bachi - Japanese dipping Bowls, made for dipping our noodles into your sauce.
Japanese Ceramic Donburi - Noodle Bowls
Classic Japanese Ceramic Donburi - Quite nice selection of different styles
Futa Donburi - Ceramic Noodle Bowls with Matching Lids
&
Japanese Noodle Toppings - Goma, Beni Shoga, Nori..
Japanese Noodle Bases - Premium Pre made Stocks, and Noodle Soup Bases

New to Japanese Noodles

The best and easiest way to get started with trying Japanese Noodles, and using the cool servers, soup bases and toppings, is with a kit.
I have put together :
The Japanese Noodle Sampler

This is a great way to get started sampling three of the most popular Japanese Noodles:

Soba, Cha Soba and Udon.
This is a complete set, it allows you to make both Soba and Udon either hot or cold, and present it in a truly Authentic Japanese manner, with a Bamboo Zaru and a Dipping Bowl(Bachi) for the Tsuyu.
Also in the set are three basic noodle toppings: Roasted Sesame Seeds - Goma, Nori Flakes and Beni Shoga - Red Pickled Ginger Sticks. All you would need optionally would be Negi(finely cut green onions). I've even added four pairs of wooden chopsticks to complete this great set. I have given you three different types of Japanese Noodles:

Traditional buckwheat soba
Cha soba - Green tea powder and buckwheat flour
Traditional Udon Noodles

The Tsuyu is made by Yamasa, which has been making soy and other sauces since 1645, and here has made a superior premixed Japanese Noodle Base - Kanto style Udon/Soba soup base, makes it super easy, just warm or chill it and serve into your bachi bowls(provided) for either Soba or Udon, it works for all three... After cooking your noodles simply drain and place on top of your bamboo zaru's, then top with your desired choice of any combination of the three toppings provided in this kit.


That's it, It is truly one of the quickest meals you can prepare, and nothing compares to the taste of each of these unique Japanese Noodles.
I've provided enough ingredients to last you through several full Japanese Noodle meals, And the tools you can use again and again...
