Matcha is not the same thing. Matcha is the actual tea leaves ground down into a powder - the stuff in sushi places is just powdered tea. I can`t think of what it`s called, and we`ve always just referred to it as "tea powder" (in Japanese, of course) so I can`t really tell you what to search for if you want to buy it.

I`ll take a look next time we go to the store though to see if they have it sitting around so that I can tell you the proper name.
