Hofu Tea Porridge (Cha-gayu)

Gently pour the porridge, cooked in an iron pot, into a bowl. The pleasant aroma of roasted tea rises softly, and with a single sip, the smooth texture and gentle flavor of the tea permeate your body. It is a comforting bowl that is light on the stomach. The characteristic of Yamaguchi Prefecture's tea porridge is simmering roasted Bancha tea in a dedicated iron pot. Once the tea reaches a deep color, the tea bag is removed, and rice is added to cook. Easy to digest, it has been passed down through households and is now widely enjoyed as a health food. When served with pickled plums (umeboshi) or Japanese pickles, the aroma of the tea is further enhanced. Perfect for breakfast, a late-night snack, or when you have no appetite. It is a gentle porridge that can be eaten easily.
