They have a VERY limited selection of tea and yokan (the sweet red bean brick). When Toraya had a tea house in the UES they had the full complement of Toraya products including seasonal wagashi however, for reasons completely mysterious (since they appeared to be doing fabulous business) they closed a few years ago. The BEST place in NYC for real macha is a lovely japanese tea house called Cha-An on 9th street between second and third avenues (cha-an.com). One taste of that stuff and you will NEVER drink Itoen (ugh! crap!) again. </p> http://www.gothamist.com/2006/02/05/get_your_wagash.php#comment-99037 http://www.gothamist.com/2006/02/05/get_your_wagash.php#comment-99037 Comments Sun, 05 Feb 2006 10:20:08 -0500 <p>Looks like a whole lotta plate, and not a whole lotta dessert. Maybe they come in 3-packs. See you at Jahn's... www.forgotten-ny.com </p>
