Ryu'oen of Kyoto

Hello!
I recently discovered Ryu’oen, a tea shop in Kyoto Japan. I haven’t actually visited the shop, but I received a few bags of their senchas.
I really love a couple of their senchas (the sencha asahi and sencha komakage in particular).
Anyone know how to get their teas in the U.S.? Any kind Japanese tea importers or “shoppers” perhaps?
THANKS!!

I know of various (quite a few)online shops to get quality Japanese teas, but not Ryu’oen specifically. would be glad to post or PM links to what I have.

I’m going to be in Japan in a few weeks, do you have an address for this tea shop? Would love to check it out!

The shop’s telephone number is 231-3693; the area code for dialing Kyoto from the United States is 75. Inside Japan the code is 075.

Here is the address: 604 – 0935 Nakagyo-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture nijoudori gokoumachi hairu choujiyachou 690
075 – 231 – 3693

From what I understand, its on Nijo Street.
