Where To Stream Core Kyoto Season 2018 Episode 5

Hot green tea poured over steamed rice topped with salted kombu kelp and other flavorings is commonly known as ochazuke , but called bubuzuke in Kyoto. Records from the 1800's show that common folk cooked rice once a day, at lunchtime, and for other meals they would pour hot tea over cold rice. Today topped with a colorful variety of pickles, or eel or sea bream, bubuzuke has become a local specialty in its own right. Discover the Kyoto spirit of frugality through a simple meal of rice and tea.
