Do many people on the Tea Chat buy tea from Rakuten ?
I know some people from Japan who buy many things on Rakuten.
Re: Buy tea from Rakuten ?
Hello Uji,
I would think the Japanese language interface would be a problem. That and finding vendors that are willing to send to other countries. I know there is a company that will take care of those things for non-Japanese but I don't remember the name.

theres quite a few that will act as a proxy..same for yahoo japan auctions..ive never used any but i did look recently and fees vary wildly, u have to pay local shipping to the proxy then to the usa..plus any fees they have tacked on.. it can make the price high for single items

Japanese is not the problem 
Only curious if any quality tea sellers are present or hiding somewhere in Rakuten to sell good Sencha
