Thanks Laura, green tea over rice is a pretty typical japanese breakfast food, I guess it’s a bit like oatmeal or something in the west. They put different stuff on top like salted kelp, or pickled plums, or salted grilled salmon, or salted cod roe, the theme being something very salty that releases flavors the tea. Other condiments that go on top are things like small rice crackers, nori, wasabi, shiso, etc.

Thanks Peter, Diva, and Little Corner of Mine.

Candyce, hoep your Mitsuwa run went well.

Noble pig, if you live to the south there is a Mitsuwa in San Jose, or if you’re up north, there’s an Otos Marketplace in Sac.

Hillary, I go to Mitsuwa in Edgewater, NJ, but there are Japanese grocery stores all over the country.

Thank Kevin.

michelle, I’ve never tried it with Tuna, but this also works great with bonito (a type of tuna I think). You can also cure both these in soy sauce. It’s been years since i’ve been to Hawaii, but I imagine you get a lot of exotic seafood and tropical things.

Thanks Indigo, If you do ever get around to trying it, do a bit of research (yelp and zagat are pretty good guides) and make sure you find a good restaurant around you. There are lot of places that make questionable sushi and sashimi that could ruin your first experience.

Thanks for sharing, it looks and sounds divine.

this looks yum. thanks for the curing tip & green tea broth headsup too.x
