A lot of kinds of Ochazuke
From the Edo period onwards, it became popular to add toppings to ochazuke.
For example, people began to put their favorite foods on it as toppings, such as pickled plums, pickled vegetables, salmon, seaweed, and sashimi of fish such as wasabi and tuna.
Hot or cool?
Generally, hot liquids (hot tea or dashi stock) are used for ochazuke, but in hot seasons like midsummer, it is not uncommon for people to use cold tea to enjoy the cold texture.
Japanese food that continues to be loved
Nowadays, Ochazuke is eaten in various situations.
Since the creation of instant ochazuke, you can easily make ochazuke at home as long as you have rice, and it is sometimes served as the last dish at a Japanese banquet.
Ochazuke is a dish with a long history, but it has also been widely enjoyed in modern society.
Sea bream chazuke
Ochazuke, which is topped with sea bream sashimi tossed in sesame sauce, is called tai chazuke.
This time we will introduce a famous restaurant with a history of over 300 years.
Provided to the JR Kyushu Cruise Train Seven Stars, featured in the Michelin Guide Kumamoto and Oita Prefecture, provided on JAL International Business First Class, and featured in the manga ``Oishinbo'' volume 71.
Wakaeya
The specialty dish of a Japanese-style restaurant called Wakae-ya, located in a corner of the castle town of Kitsuki City, Oita Prefecture, is ``Tai Chazuke.''
A long time ago, a feudal lord from Kitsuki ate the sea bream chazuke made here and praised it, saying, "It's so nice." Since its founding, the taste has been passed down from generation to generation, and now, in its 16th generation, the taste has been preserved.
Heirloom sesame sauce
The key to its deliciousness is the sesame sauce. Fresh sea bream fillets are marinated in a sesame sauce made with carefully selected sesame seeds and seasoned with soy sauce, served over hot rice, and served with piping hot tea.

Later, in July 2023, it was reorganized and renamed as the General Incorporated Association "Inbound National Promotion Council" and focused on four issues in the tourism industry: "Developing tourism human resources," "Discovering tourism materials and collecting information," and "Disseminating information and promoting." In order to solve the problem of "improving the receiving environment," we are developing various projects nationwide based on specific measures.
