Ochazuke (お茶漬け) is a traditional Japanese dish that consists of rice topped with various ingredients and then topped with green tea, dashi, or hot water. The word "ocha" means "tea," and "zuke" refers to "soaked" or "pickled," so ochazuke literally translates to "tea-soaked rice." It’s a comforting, versatile meal often enjoyed as a light meal or snack, especially when you’re looking for something quick and soothing.
