<Miwa’s tips> ※Watch more on YouTube!
1; If you are opting for green tea, keep in mind that the green tea is much more bitter than hojicha tea. Please start with less leaves and increase its amount to your liking.
2; Tea rice does taste a bit of a toasty note to it, but the flavor itself is very subtle. Please enjoy it with some soups or main dishes to accompany it.
3; Sprinkling GOMASHIO would be nice.
<Storage time>
Keep them in an air-tight container in the fridge for 5 days.
