Green tea is known as the“healthiest” form of tea due to its lack of processing, resulting in extremely high nutrient levels. Matcha green tea originated in Japan, and because the entire leaf is ingested in powder form, it is the most potent green tea in the world. |

History:
There are various theories about the date when fried rice was first introduced to Japan. But it is said that Japanese missions to Tang Dynasty China who went to China to learn about Tang Dynasty's constitutions and cultures, brought its recipe to Japan between 7th and 9th centuries. Widely penetrated Chinese restaurants run by Chinese immigrants were considered to play an important role, too. The recipe utilizing left over rice has been very well accepted by Japanese people since rice is staple food for people in Japan who have kept growing rice for over 3000 years. |
