I would not recommend Japanese green tea from Honshu. Personally, I do not drink Japanese green tea at all anymore. The disaster at Fukushima is ongoing despite a lot of creative media framing about it and Japan isn't going to become less contaminated with fallout as time goes by. Iwaki is literally a short drive away from the crippled nuclear plant. The Japanese government changed their radiation testing criteria after pressure from the agribusiness lobby so that contaminated food products, including tea, could pass.
