Hot take: Chazuke is just another example of how modern world reinvented a once poor people's food to now fancy cuisine. Yes, there are cultural, historical, heritage values but is it really the values you spent hundreds of dollars experiencing or just the fancy aesthetics and internet clout. Our ancestors would laugh at us for paying top dollar for tea rice.
A) Its not a particularly expensive restaurant B) It’s not really a restaurant at all, it’s a specialty tea shop that happens to serve a fixed menu. What you’re paying for is high-quality tea curated by a knowledgeable owner. Chazuke is a simple and cheap food, but it can be elevated. If you want cheap chazuke, you can buy it. But it will not have the depth of flavor available at this tea shop.
This is fun because I definitely have made this dish, but probably spicier. At least if thats shungiku in the chazuke, and it likely is. Hungover with an almost empty fridge and a glass of genmai and steamed egg I couldnt stomach yet. I didnt know this was an actual dish. I'll have to try it some day.
Your description of traditional Japanese food (I think this is, might be wrong) reminded me of that guy that says that not even Japanese people like it because it's too bland.
Same it was how I came to find instant chazuke seasoning that you just need rice and hot water for. It is very tasty if you happen to get the chance to try it.
"One man, in a japanese restaurant, spilling a bowl of food because they were too busy using another hand to record for views.

@@flambevinrogue118 but youve done way worse stuff though why are u screaming at this guy spilling his rice on accident? you seem to be a morally debauched individual
I mean…Is it really THAT bad? lol Nobody in this world doesn’t make mistakes and it’s their money going into it…So why care? Why waste the energy feeling shock and horror over spilled tea rice? lol
Chazuke, or more commonly known, Ochazuke, is a common household dish that's not actually all that fancy. Yes, this is a fancy restaurant but they're serving the fancy version. Generally we just pour our green tea over rice ball and dried ochazuke toppings that's similar to furikake, but designed specifically to be re-hydrated by the tea. It's actually a common, cheap, comfy soul food at home.
It's interesting that the name of this is meal is "Ochazuke." When I studied healing in Tenri years ago, the Divine Healing Grant I received via Tenrikyo was called "Ozazuke." I wonder if there is any commonality between these two names.
@@YohielSpeaks There isn’t as far as I’m aware. The “o”in ochazuke is the honorific “o”, like oneesan or onegaishimasu, noting respect. “Cha” is tea, and “zuke” is submerge. So you submerge rice in tea. As for osazuke, the honorific “o” is kept, but the rest is completely different. Specifically, there is seemingly no origin for the term “sazuke” as used in Tenrikyo, and any kanji character associated is different. Like the term “Torah”, it’s probably a Proper Noun of sorts. Nakayama Miki was given the prayer from God after all. Japanese only has so many sounds. Therefore, words are repeated, but can have vastly different meaning. For example, the term “kami” can mean god, paper, or hair. It depends on the kanji used and how it’s pronounced. Given that Tenri came to be in the 19th Century, while ochazuke’s been a thing since the Heian (though tea wasn’t used until the Edo Period), maybe there was a name inspiration, but there’s no evidence for it.
"When I see a fancy teapot on a table beside me, and the menu looks like a fancy postcard from a Japanese nobleman traveling to France in the Victorian era, and it comes with instructions, I know I'm out of my element." - JapanEats, 2/9/24
Had that feeling in most Michelin starred restaurants. Mainly because of the people that come there, I'd rather not associate with. Over valued, uniteresting decadent type. Food not worth it. In Japan that invite only shudi bar yes. Only you and the chef. Never ate sushi ever again. No use. It always will be a big disappointment compared to what he served me. So beware. Having tasted perfection will lead to many dissapointments after that.
Weren't those little teapots something? I instantly wanted one! There were two on the table, was one to drink and one for the dish... with different instructions? WELL! Could probably find them retail on one of the famous shopping streets in Japan. What a dream!
Wasn't Chazuke what hosts and hostesses served when they want you to leave? Kind of like saying, "This is the last food we will serve you. After that you must go."
I believe it's because it's just tea and rice, one would only serve it to a guest as a last resort when there is nothing else to offer. Offering it to your guest means you're out of food and they have outstayed their welcome.
I made chazuke at home once. It was surprisingly tasty and gentle indeed, the kind of dish that makes you sit down and appreciate how the wind plays with your blinds n stuff Then I got made fun of for eating rice with tea by my colleagues
Chazuke is one of my favorite and easiest homemeals. Just get some rice, some veggies (I usually use scallions and green asparagus or broccoli), some meat or fish cut into strips (cooked) and some unsweetened tea or dashi. I make mine with dashi and it's SO GOOD. Warm and flavorful, you can add a dash of soy sauce and sesame oil if you want too.
My mom and grandmother used to make something like this (the chazuke) when I was a kid before I would go to school, but never knew what it was called. It is yummy.
They also sell instant ochazuke over there. Just put the toppings over rice and pour hot water on it. Mixed in with the toppings are these little, I guess you can call them "brothy tea bits", like bouillon granules but more herby and a little bigger (at least the one I had). Once they mix with the hot water, you get a lovely broth.
Chazuke = just a fancy cereal As a Japanese I can 100% vouch for that statement Like breakfast cereals you can either go lavish or just pick the cheapest one from the bottom shelf
@@MerToronto I believe the reply meant "leaving UA-cam comments" as in "making them and putting them in these comment sections" or something along the lines of that TL:DR English sucks
The restaurant's name is from a Japanese folk tale "Bunbuku Chagama" where it features a Tanuki and a tea pot. That's why the menu has chazuke
Was that a Tanuki statue out front?

Chazuke reminds me of Kobo-chan's grampa who's served an expensive cup of matcha as an occasion but absent-mindedly pour it to his rice.
