I have been to Tokyo a couple of times since the tsunami,and we watch the Japanese news daily. If you were consuming seaweed or fish from the area immediately around Fukushima, you should be cautious, because some radiation continues to wash out into the sea. However, levels are closely monitored, and it appears that Americans really overreacted to the whole threat. No other country pulled their citizens out the same way. Most tea is not grown in that area. This blogger from near the plant describes where tea is grown; 80 percent cones from other parts of Japan. People have returned to that area to live. Outside a small area surrounding the plant, radiation levels have returned to normal.
