does the tea contain a bit of rice in it? Most sushi places serve "genmai-cha", which is literally brown rice tea. Really good, high-quality green tea makes me pee like nothing else - an excellent diuretic. But I also get indigestion if I drink too much (say 3 cups spread out over the course of the day). I think this is something that's unique to me, though. My relatives in Japan are just fine drinking 2-3times more than I do on a daily basis.
