Ochazuke

Chazuke (茶漬け, ちゃづけ) or ochazuke (お茶漬け) is a humble Japanese comfort food that involves pouring hot liquid—usually tea, dashi, or soup—over cooked rice and adding toppings like pickles, salmon, or seaweed. While some might dismiss it as a simple, even “lousy” dish, it’s undeniably satisfying in its simplicity. This version with mentaiko (spicy cod roe) takes it to the next level—rich, savory, and absolutely delicious!
