Title: Matcha green tea konnyaku noodle and method of preparing thereof

Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     Present invention relates to a matcha (finely-powdered green tea) green tea konnyaku (konjac) noodle (shirataki) and method of preparing thereof. 
     Heretofore, matcha, though its flavor and taste are good and attractive, had been considered impossible to get only powdered tea leaves as a low calorie meal since a kind of powdered green tea is used with ice cream, mochi, soba (buckwheat) noodles and would choke people who want to take green tea leaves without wheat flour nor buckwheat. 
     As you know, the wheat flour and buckwheat cause the allergy that some people have. 
     Therefore, taking only matcha green tea food as a low calorie diet without any allergies was considered impossible, whereas it had long been expected to become reality. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     Invention is a kind of things, processes and matters which is to turn an impossibility into a possibility. 
     According to the present invention, to begin with, add matcha (finely-powdered green tea) green tea to a blender filled with water and blend for a few minutes. After that, add raw materials of konnyaku (konjac) powder. 
     A few hours later, add a coagulant (mixed water with calcium hydroxide powder) to the green tea konnyaku paste, shape noodles with basket or sieve which have meshes, and boil the noodles with hot water. 
     Finally, the matcha green tea konnyaku noodles are ready.
