A Simple Bowl, Full of Comfort

Let me introduce you to ochazuke—a humble and heartwarming way to enjoy Japanese tea.
It’s not just food, it’s a feeling.

Pouring hot tea over rice with a few toppings is something many of us in Japan grew up with. It’s quick, simple, and comforting—especially when there’s no time or energy to cook. Rice and tea are always in the kitchen, ready to become a meal.

The photo here is a beautiful version I had at a restaurant, made with dashi instead of tea—but the spirit is the same: warm, light, and nourishing.

Whether you're short on time or just want something soothing, ochazuke is always here for you. Maybe next time, try it with green tea?
