Japanese Tea & Savoury Rice Bowls: The Edible Leaf (Ochazuke Workshop)

Discover a delicious new way to enjoy tea in Japanese Tea & Savoury Rice Bowls: The Edible Leaf, a hands-on Ochazuke workshop that explores Japan’s beloved comfort food—tea-soaked rice. Guided by Janice Chan, this culinary session introduces the “whole leaf” philosophy by moving beyond the teacup and using quality tea as a key ingredient in a savoury, warming dish.

In this workshop, you’ll learn how to build a satisfying bowl of ochazuke by combining perfectly cooked rice with flavourful toppings, then finishing it with a fragrant pour of tea. It’s simple, nourishing, and deeply comforting—ideal for tea lovers, food explorers, and anyone who enjoys quick, heart-warming meals with big flavour.

You’ll leave with a deeper appreciation for the versatility of tea, plus the skills to recreate ochazuke at home as a comforting snack, light meal, or anytime treat.
