{6-15} omija-cha
Originally uploaded by petitshoo.
At culture group Wednesday night, Mie and Yukiko brought tasty treats from their recent trip to Korea. This was one of them–Omiya-cha or "5 taste tea". The five tastes are sweet, hot, sour, bitter and salty. It really has a good flavor and is supposed to be soothing for your throat (everything here is healthy for you in some way or another it seems).
On our trek to Tachikawa today (Denny has the day off) we will attempt to buy some omiya-ja at the chinese tea shop. Let you know how that goes.
Also, at culture group. Suetsugu-san, our tour guide for our upcoming trip to Nikko with Denny's parents, brought a few maps to tell us what he was planning for our trip. We are so excited...it's going to be a really great experience based on what we've seen so far.
