Finds from the Asian Market (KoMart)

TEAS and more teas... Jasmine Tea (yellow can), Jasmine-Green Tea (green can) all from China. Small can on front is Japanese green tea in powder (Matcha) the kind used in traditional japanese tea ceremony. (White Box) Toasted Barley and tea from Korea, this one is a very soft, suddle flavor tea that has a similar effect on the tumy as chamomile.


YEAH, this one deserves a close-up and a pharagraph as well!!! LOL i paid $10 for this itsy bitsy can that looks huge on the picture but is like thumb size with like an oz. of green tea powder. Why bother? well this is traditional matcha or powdered green tea not the watered down version we drink as green tea. But I'll let you goodle all the specs. I will be using it to bake as it has become a trendy ingredient in baking.


Trio of designer drinks!


Front view of a Korean made "Slim Water" kind of like Gatorades Propel and many likes out there. This one has a subtle peach taste and is very convenient to carry around because the bag gets lighter as you drink it. PLUS it is a great conversation starter BELIEVE ME!


Side view

Chinese Lychee Soda, the top is aluminum but the rest is a hard as one of those sprite or coke plastic bottles. It tastes smooth like a Sprite but has a tart after taste like a sweet-tart.


YUMMY! the best tasting jasmine tea I've ever had came from this bottle! Believe it or not the aluminum keeps the tea cool and to my surprice there was no aluminum after taste like most canned sodas have.


Vegetable Slicers from Komart (Korean Market).


This one can slice and cut directly from fresh vegetables and yield tons of shreads of perfectly thin vegetable strips.


This one can slice soft vegetables or fruit. Say to fan a cucumber or cornichon to a strawberry for eye catching garnishes!!!


This one I bought on amazon.com but it is a treasure of knowledge!!! It is the definitive guide on Tofu and Miso... covers history,properties,uses,recipes and how to make both miso and tofu at home! Highly recomended reading for vegetarians or anyone looking in to learning more of asian or japanese cuisine as miso and tofu are cornerstone ingredients in this cusine.
