Japanese tea is usually taken before and/or after meals, but people drink Japanese tea also during a particular meal. That is when you eat sushi. Sushi is a traditional Japanese dish that does not contain much liquid. Therefore if you eat sushi without any drink, you will find it not so comfortable to swallow. Of course you can have any kind of drink, but if you try Japanese tea with sushi, you may be surprised that the Japanese tea goes really well with sushi. Here again, sencha is the most suitable Japanese tea for sushi, thanks to catechin. Usually, at sushi shops, they provide konacha or funmatsucha. Both are from sencha and similar in their forms, but konacha is made of small fine grains of tea leaves while funmatsucha has a powdery form of sencha. Both konacha and funmatsucha are good with sushi because more catechin is extracted due to their fine forms. These two teas reduce the smell of fish and refresh your mouth.
Originally, this style of calligraphy was often used on the menu panels of sushi restaurants, and the fish would all be ones on the menu (and by extension, commonly eaten). However, many of these tea cups and other merchandise that feature these characters seem to have departed from simply edible fish and just gone through the dictionary and picked up random characters that all have the radical for fish 魚. This cup does feature mostly edible fish, barring a few items, but also quite a few that would never have been eaten as sushi.

Green tea goes hand-in-hand with sushi - you can hardly ever have one without the other. When visiting a sushi restaurant, a cup of piping hot green tea is always served. It has a strong taste, and if you swish the cup around, you’ll see bits of powder floating at the bottom of the cup. Don’t be fooled though, it might be in powder form, but it’s not matcha! This tea is called Konacha.
