We are making Tai Chazuke, marinated red seabream rice bowl with hot green tea. The aroma and rich taste of sesame will bring out the flavor of the seabream. You will be addicted once you have tasted this. It’s so delicious and goes great with sake! I can eat 3 bowls of Tai Chazuke.

Recipe Notes

You also have the option to have this recipe without pouring the hot green tea over the rice. A rice bowl served with just the raw sesame flavored sea bream is also delicious.
Another version of Tai Chazuke is pouring over rich dashi stock flavored with usukuchi soy sauce.
