In a history of Japanese green tea, it is told that people had been pursued both green color and fresh aroma just like fresh green leaves.
We can fully taste the feature of green tea with this dish which is named as "A jade color fish with silver bean paste". A jade color fish which glitter in clear paste might be praised. To make this dish attractive, you should use a brush to coat fish evenly with matcha that is micro particle size.
