"What's a good beginner gyokuro" would be something like "Hajime no oishii gyokuro wa nan desu ka?"

You might also try "Shoushin no tame ni gyokuro wa dou desu ka?"

Hida-Takayama? Up in the mountains? If so, try hitting the morning markets (asaichi) by the river and in front of the Jinya. They had some interesting teas when I was there and, of course, they give you a sample first. You have to get there early though, the markets close by noon.
