Premium Organic Sencha Green Tea
Loose or Bulk
In Japan, Sencha is a prized tea served at high class restaurants and at home to make guests feel welcome and honored. Stimulating yet soothing, Sencha has long been used by Zen monks to promote mental clarity and calmness during prolonged meditations. Unlike Indian or Chinese green teas on the market, Mitoku Sencha is considered medicinal due to its high concentration of catechins. This premium quality Japanese green tea is made from the season's first tender, young leaves, hand-harvested at their peak of flavor. By a unique Japanese process, the freshly picked leaves are briefly steamed to capture their complex flavor and emerald green color, then rolled into curls and oven-dried. Ingredients: organic sencha (steamed green tea leaves), from Nagata green tea bushes.

Authentic Snow Dried Tofu
2.1 oz. pouch - $12.95
Traditional snow-dried (Kohya Dofu) is completely handmade in the mountains of Nagano by an ancient traditional process. Lightweight and easy to store and prepare, it is the ideal camp/travel or storing food. Mitoku Snow-Dried Tofu is a versatile, protein rich vegetarian entree that absorbs flavors exceptionally well. Less than 1% of dried tofu is still produced by the natural "snow dried" method. Most are now made quickly by artificially freezing and drying and adding such additives as baking soda and ammonia to obtain a pristine white color. We are pleased to be able to offer you yet another wonderful hand-crafted product from Mitoku. Mitoku Snow-Dried Tofu is hand-crafted in the snowy highlands of central Japan by one of the last families who still adhere to traditional methods. The result is an all natural, delicious and concentrated convenience food that stores well and readily absorbs flavors. The Takagi family starts by freezing fresh tofu on bamboo trays overnight, which turns about 86 percent of the water to ice. The protein, minerals, and other solids congeal into a firm, lacy network. The following morning, workers begin the tedious task of stringing pieces of frozen tofu with braided rice straw. For about 20 days the tied frozen tofu blocks are hung from wooden frames in an open shed. They are left to twist and sway in the wind, until aged and dried. Mitoku Snow-Dried Tofu is truly an exceptional, quality product..
Ingredients: Japanese tofu (soybeans, water, nigari - a natural coagulant extracted from sea water).
Packaging: Different than photo, comes in Shelf-stable Bag.
