Identifying sake, tea and spices from pics - 05-10-2009, 01:03 PM

Just came home from my very first trip to Japan, and fell in love with the japanese food. Of course I bought home different stuff, and of course I have forgotten (or never was told) the name of the different items and how it is used. I hope someone in this forum could help me out on identifying and how to use them.

First off is 2 bottles of Sake. The salesman at Nishiki market in Kyoto didn't speak too much English, but he pointed out these when I asked for "best sake".
Name and grade (daiginjo, junmai etc...)


Then there are the green teas. Should be sencha, houji-cha, genmaicha and maybe gyokuru. Also any other info you have on these particular teas would be greatly appreciated:


Spices. Think the first one is smoked flavour and the second is green tea. To be sprinkled on rice if I recall right?


More spices. For noodles?


And the last two. The first is Yuba furikake, which I understand is soymilk film spice to sprinkle on rice? and the second I guess is a wasabi product.


I appreciate any replies I can get!
