Not specified on the bottle as to the country of origin...--- USA probably refers to the country where it is "capped and bottled"

Given the latest news from Japan, that is quite frightening, I'd say that is a very good question for many products from the sea... I don't know the answer to your question though.

It says H I C Earthenware on the bottom of the water holder and my guess would be China where most products come from.

I can't answer a question I don't understand what is the country of origin here? Or where it's made if it's that I don't know the answer to that sorry

The original package was in Japanese so I have no idea. I bought it before I knew about the risks of BPA.

If it's a proper Marimo (毬藻), then it's from Japan. Similar varieties of ball algae are found in Iceland, Scotland, and Estonia. I'm not sure specifically where these ones were grown.

Hello Ben It is a good question. We do ship the item form Japan. Sometimes we will transfer the orders in CALIFORNIA. If you have any more question, please feel free to contact me. Thanks. Jade

Hong Kong is where it is shipped from. And metal is all I know. Sorry I couldn't help you more.

Made in Korea, according to the package, but there's no telling exactly what body of water the seaweed was farmed from.

Kent, I'm pretty sure this was mostly made in Japan (i.e. some objects made in China but all assembled in Japan)

I believe it is. It took a long time to arrive to my location and it said made in Japan.

Grown in Tawain, processed in Japan, I think. They have a website...maybe check it.

Thanks so much GW for posting this. Although we have already posted this a few times before on our reviews section and in response to some of the questions posted here, we are re-posting this for everyone's convenience. The home of our Organic Matcha - both Culinary and Ceremonial - is now located in Shizuoka, Japan, within a tea region recognized by the United Nations as a Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System. Harvested from a family-run tea farm in operation since 1915. Our farm has been certified organic since 2000, synthetic chemical free since 1994, and reduced chemical usage since 1975. Now you can enjoy great quality Matcha from the place it all began - Japan. Thanks again for posting. Unfortunately, there is no way to attach a file here. Once we've created a link to access our Radiation Test, Metal Test, and Organic Certification, we'll once again post them here. But please do email ashley@kissmeorganics.com if you have further concerns. Best, Ashley Evans KissMeOrganics

I wondered about that too when I first saw it, then I bought it anyway and tried it and now I'm hooked. So before I gorge on 24 packs I should find this out too. But here's the thing, seaweed has tons of iodine, so you're kinda protected that way, if you want to look at it like that. At least that's what I'm telling myself to justify eating these things! lol. I went to their website (seasgift dot com) and here's what it says: "All our seasoned & roasted seaweed are harvested in the west and southwest regions of South Korea." So that's opposite and a little ways south of Fukushima, so any contamination would (presumably) be decaying remnants similar to what American waters are like. (?) Anyway, I feel secure about eating it, as secure as I can be eating from the ocean. The company also says they test for mercury.

I do not know the test results for heavy metals with regard to this product. It is supposed to be kelp from U.S. NW Pacific and not Japan.

Not sure, bought as a gift for Nephew. Everything on the box was in Japanese.
