Discover the simple pleasure of ochazuke, a traditional Japanese dish of warm rice topped with savoury garnishes and finished with freshly brewed green tea poured over the top. Light, comforting and full of umami, ochazuke is enjoyed as a quick meal, a late-night snack or a warming dish whenever you fancy something simple and satisfying.
Our Ochazuke Set brings together carefully selected Japanese ingredients to help you create this delicious dish at home. Fragrant genmaicha green tea, nutty Koshihikari rice, umami-rich furikake, finely chopped nori and aonori seaweed flakes provide layers of flavour and texture, while tangy umeboshi pickled plums add a distinctive Japanese finishing touch.
Easy to prepare and wonderfully versatile, ochazuke is a lovely way to explore everyday Japanese home cooking.
