I found both the sencha and the corn tea at the same Asian International Market. I doubt it is the highest quality but it is the first japanese green tea I have tried.

It was a less tannic than the cheap store brand loose leaf jasmine green tea I had. It has gotten me curious about japanese teas in general. I'd like to get some japanese black tea and the ever sought after Gyukuro, though that seems to be pretty pricy.

You are in for a great experience. Personally, Japanese teas are probably my favorites, with Gyokuro and Genmaica at the top of the list. Plenty of variety for “pure green teas”. :) Enjoy!

For me as well. Gyokuro is on the top of my current list.
