Toasted rice is a must-have for those who want to vary tea flavors.
Are you familiar with the concept of "aji-hen" in Japanese cuisine? It's a practice that works particularly well with simple dishes like hot pots or ramen. It involves adding different ingredients and/or seasonings (chili, sesame, ginger, etc.) during the meal to vary the taste of a dish.

So, rather than drinking three infusions of the same tea, you can also transform it: two classic infusions and a final one with added rice to enhance it and make it a genmaicha. But not just any genmaicha, as the final result will be completely different depending on the sencha used as the base.
Don't hesitate to try it!
