A beloved traditional dish from Nara
About Yamato Tea Porridge
Yamato Tea Porridge (大和の茶粥, Yamato no chakayu) is a traditional dish affectionately known as "okaisan" in Nara.
It is a simple yet comforting recipe made by steeping roasted green tea in boiling water using a small cotton bag, and then cooking rice in the tea-infused water. The porridge has a smooth, non-sticky texture and carries the delightful, toasty aroma of roasted tea. It is typically enjoyed with side dishes like Nara pickles for a perfectly balanced meal.
