Worth the search to find it

It's great to be able to finally find this herb mix. I'd tried to source it for some time, but I couldn't get it from any of my regular Japanese food suppliers, and I could only find a limited number of the herbs in the UK. I ate it today for the first time, January 7, and I really enjoyed the clean taste. With some transparent soy sauce to preserve the pure whiteness of the rice, it looked appealing and definitely hit the spot after days of over-indulgence!

thank goodness it comes in a packet

I ordered this last year and will be again. It is so satisfying to have after all the other rich foods. My whole family enjoys it . It is also difficult to find in my area so it is a gift that I can mail order it.
