Tanoshii - Genmaicha

Tanoshii, translating directly as fun or pleasant, is the essence of genmaicha as a whole. Produced by Koga Cha Gyo, a tea refinery, blending facility, restaurant and cafe located in Yame, Fukuoka, Japan, this is a beautiful demonstration of their blending mastery: one that binds the bright, balanced flavors of Yame sencha with toasted puffed rice. Perfect for an afternoon cup or pairing with a light dinner.

Not only is it an at-home staple, most restaurants also carry it as an offering because of how well it pairs with food, or as a post-meal digestion aid. While this tea is normally drank as is, it actually can be used as soup stock for a famous comfort dish called Ochazuke.
