Although commonly enjoyed as a drink, tea leaves also find their ways into many aspects of Japanese cuisine, known as shokucha (lit. "eating teaâ). In a country where very little goes to waste, youâll find a variety of teas, including prized matcha, different grades of sencha green tea, roasted houjicha, and more, lending their unique flavors to Japanese food.
We encourage you to pour yourself a relaxing cup of Japanese tea as you explore the wide ranging ways tea finds its way into Japanese cuisine in our upcoming "Shokucha" May Nourishing Essentials Care Package!
