Warm, delicate, and deeply comforting. This is a Japanese-style tea rice that brings together roasted green tea, dashi, and flaked salmon into one soul-soothing bowl. Whether you're winding down or waking up, this dish hits just right.

We used Snow Treasures’ premium salmon for this. Known for its incredible freshness, clean flavour, and sashimi-grade quality.

It’s the kind of fish that makes even a simple ochazuke feel restaurant-worthy.

Ochazuke (茶漬け) is Japanese comfort in a bowl - steamed rice topped with flavourful ingredients and steeped in hot tea or broth. This version uses premium salmon from Snow Treasures, paired with genmaicha (roasted rice green tea) and dashi for a light yet satisfying meal. It's a dish that feels refined yet unfussy, ideal for quiet nights or midweek resets. Top it off with mizuna, shiso, and a touch of wasabi for balance, and you’ve got a nourishing bowl that hits every note.

Umami, freshness, and warmth.

Ingredients

1 piece of Snow Treasures salmon
1 cup Japanese rice
2 bags Matcha Genmaicha (roasted rice green tea)
1 tbsp dashi
Plum & bonito nori mix, for garnish
A small handful of mizuna, plucked
1 shiso leaf, julienned
1 tsp wasabi paste

Directions

Generously salt the salmon and refrigerate for 15–20 minutes. This draws out moisture, firms up the texture, and brings out the umami.
Cook the Rice - Rinse the rice until the water runs clear, then cook using your preferred method.
Prep the Garnishes - While the rice and salmon are doing their thing
Pluck the mizuna
Julienne the shiso leaf
Set aside your plum-nori mix and wasabi paste
Make the Tea-Dashi Broth. Steep 2 bags of genmaicha in hot water for 2–3 minutes.
Add 1 tablespoon of dashi to create a savoury, fragrant broth.
Cook the Salmon Lightly oil a pan and cook the salmon until just done - pan-seared or baked, your choice.
Flake into generous chunks.
Snow Treasures salmon holds its shape beautifully when cooked and flakes into buttery, clean-tasting pieces
Assemble Your Bowl Scoop a portion of steamed rice into a bowl.
Top with flaked salmon.
Pour the hot tea-dashi broth over the rice.
Finish with mizuna, shiso, plum-nori, and a small dab of wasabi.
