This article introduces the Japanese home-style dish ochazuke.
What is Ochazuke
Ochazuke is a simple and tasty dish of hot rice topped with ingredients and served with hot tea or dashi (soup stock). Ochazuke is perfect for busy days or when you want a lighter meal, and has been popular in Japan for centuries.
In particular, I often eat it when I am not feeling well and have no appetite or when my stomach is weak. Ochazuke is light and gentle on the stomach, making it less burdensome even when eating is difficult. The combination of rice and dashi broth is smoothly accepted by the body even when indigestion or a poor appetite is present.
