Ochazuke is a dish eaten by pouring tea over rice. It is common to see the culture of eating rice in broth or soup around the world, but eating tea is a unique food culture unique to Japan. In general, hot tea or broth is poured over it, but cold tea or broth is used to cool it down. In addition to rice and tea, it is eaten with various ingredients such as umeboshi and sashimi grilled salmon. Recently, instant ochazuke, which is made by simply pouring the powder over rice and adding hot water, is also popular. Ochazuke is usually eaten as a finishing meal after drinking alcohol. In Kyoto, there is a saying that when guests come home and want to go home quickly, they ask, "How about ochazuke?" This is a Kyoto-style twist, which means to go home quickly after eating ochazuke, the finishing meal. It is a characteristic of Kyoto people who speak around the world with a smile without revealing their intentions.
