Ochazuke

Ochazuke is a traditional Japanese dish where hot green tea, dashi, or broth is poured over a bowl of rice, creating a comforting, soupy meal. It’s often topped with savory ingredients like grilled salmon, seaweed, furikake, and sesame seeds, adding layers of flavor and texture. Light yet deeply satisfying, ochazuke is perfect for a quick, warming meal or a gentle way to finish off a day. Check out Sarah's blog for more recipe inspiration!
