Comments on: Chazuke https://www.closetcooking.com/chazuke/ Cooking adventures in a small, closet sized, kitchen. - I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.

It's also lovely if one uses sashimi (preferably tuna or salmon) and then pour freshly brewed tea (preferably genmaicha) over the sashimi to gently blanch the fish (cheat-cooking!), sprinkle with nori and sesame seeds as you've mentioned and gently drizzle some sake or rice wine vinegar over the fish – just a teaspoon though admittedly one of the reasons I love this dish is because its flavours are so subtle.

Many thanks to all the lovely Japanese folks I picked up this dish (and its variations) from – initially, the concept of pouring tea over rice seemed very surreal!

It's very malleable to personal gustatory preferences which is also why it's so yummy 😀

I like to use hojicha or genmai cha because of the roasty flavor. But overall, I think the flavors are meant to be light. When you’re hungry late at night you don’t want something that will make you wake up thirsty. 🙂
