Visited Kanazawa many years ago actually. But needed to come up with sample exercises for my students, so chose this photo.

Dear Diary,

I had a great time at Kanazawa today. I visited the Old Quarter in the afternoon because it is a famous tourist attraction. It was full of old shophouses that were repurposed into trendy shops and cafes. I ordered traditional Japanese desserts for my afternoon tea. They tasted so delicious that I couldn’t stop grinning. I can’t wait to explore the Old Quarter again in the future. The memories I made today will remain etched in my heart.

What a coincidence! I've just finish my afternoon tea which I regularly take and saw this post. Speaking of my tea, it's typical Indian Ginger tea with a with milk and sugar. But what makes my tea special is 'Harsingar leaf' (seri gading in Singapore) from my wild garden. One leaf not only enhances the taste but it has got some incredible medicinal benifits as well. Additionally it also lowers the risk of heart problems. Try it, it tastes little bitter but better than alcohal. For most people, it works as laxative and helps removing any type of stress and depression.

I love ginger tea as well. And masala tea. And chai latte.

India has some of the best teas ever.

Bookmarking this comment. I’m sure I will be able to have a fun chat with my gardener friends

Were you able to taste some of the metal in the tea?

I can’t remember. But pretty sure I had gold flakes ice cream. Kanazawa is famous for that

Japan has some unique things. I especially like when they make the tea in the old kettles. When they do that for ochazuke, it makes it even more tasty!

Do you think it could be a Placebo effect? Regardless, let me ask my wife about this when I have the chance

Its not placebo. You can actually taste the difference.

Yes, typical Japanese tea does have a delicious taste, and some of the spices can also be used as medicine for various healing purposes, for example increasing body stamina.

I'm a very addictive to tea, as are most Indians. It's great to know that tea is also popular in Japan.

One specific benifit is its capability to treat nerve related pain. Before 3 years, my mother had Sciatica and after getting treatment from many places, the pain didn't seem to go away. One of my colleagues then told me about preparing a drink with the leaves of this plant. He instructed me to boil some 250g leaves in around 2 litres of drinking water until water becomes light black.Then, to throw the leaves and mix one gram of pure saffron in it. Then, to regularly serve 30 ML of this drink to my mother and within just 15 days my mother started to feel much better and after just one month the Sciatica pain disappeared and never came back.
