Tsubaki Grand Shrine of America is a traditional Jinja Shinto Shrine located near Seattle, WA. Not only do they have there own kickass Sake but this high quality Sencha. A friend of mine brought up a bag of this from his stay at the shrine. This has a beautiful sweet aftertaste and really bright Umami. Whatever that means. ;)

No they Import the Sencha from Chado En in Japan, and some place in Oregon makes the Sake for them.

I know which place makes the sake. It’s about a thirty-minute drive from my house.
