These plums are delicious and have minimal ingredients. I relish each one. Previous to this the only plum I knew of was the Umeboshi, which is quite salty. These are sweet and just a bit tart and have a lot of flavor. They soft, plump, and squishy. I do have one word of...(more)

After my initial experience tasting the Kuradashi Pinnacle Matcha I just had to ensure that I had enough to last me a very long time. I store mine in a Vacuum Sealed bag in the refrigerator until I'm ready to use it. I then take it out of the refrigerator and let it sit...(more)

I forgot to add my picture...here's what mine looks like. So elegant! This bowl is absolutely amazing. The way it was made with the five different carvings and then the milky glaze poured over it was very creative and the effect is very beautiful. The addition of the...(more)

I saw this Camellia bowl and knew it had to be mine  This bowl is very light weight and feels very good in the hands. Literally speaking, it is like a work of art. Each element (flower or leaf) is meticulously drawn in gold and then carefully filled in. The colors are ...(more)

I had read so much about the Kuradashi Matcha and was so excited to finally be able to order it. While I mainly enjoy Usucha, I tried it as Koicha today and was stunned by how sweet the Koicha was. Usually, there is a bit of bitterness and it can get to feel like it's '...(more)

I waited all year to try the Kuradashi Gyokuro Pinnacle for the first time and to be honest, I was frustrated. My first attempt produced a very strong brew that was too strong for my liking (I used 5 g in my Shoami Hohin at 50C). I wrote to Hibiki-An for help. I appreci...(more)

NINSEI HANA SAKURA is a beautifully made matcha bowl. I have a lot of bowls in a wide range of prices and at $106 this is a lot of bowl for the money. The bowl itself is a beautiful creamy white, lightweight, and with a gorgeous crackled glaze. It’s slightly pinched...(more)

This is one of the best deals for a yunomi. The color is so amazing. It looks like the picture on the website but better. There is a rough texture to it, lots of drips, and it is not too big. I took a picture of it with some of my other yunomi for reference. It is a hea...(more)

I love these Hana Kessho Tama Yunomi. The white and blue compliment each other and the colors compliment my Hana Kessho Blue/White Flared Yunomi almost exactly. As you can see in the picture, the shape is not exact for each. The white yunomi is just a bit flatter than t...(more)

This is my favorite of the Hana Kesso yunomi I have bought so far. The shape and color are spectacular! I love the way it flares so subtley and the way the colors merge from blue to white. I would like to see more items with these two tone effects. The feel of this yuno...(more)
