The base of the porridge consists of rice which is simmered with extra water until the grains of rice are extremely soft, making it easily digestible and gentle on the stomach. Kojima Foods makes this okayu from domestically grown brown rice, umeboshi (pickled plum) paste, soy sauce, grated ginger, and sannen bancha. Together, these ingredients echo those of plum sauce tea, which is said to help fight fatigue, and the resulting porridge carries a savory aroma of bancha and the slight fruity tang of plums.
