Categorised in: Japanese Food Dictionary | Link of this article

Ten-chazuke is a type of ochazuke in which tempura is placed over rice and served with green tea or roasted green tea poured on top.

The word “ten” refers to tempura, and when tea is added to freshly fried tempura, the batter softens slightly, creating a light and refreshing flavor that reduces the heaviness of the oil.
It is often served as a finishing dish after a tempura rice bowl (tendon), offering a satisfying yet pleasantly light conclusion to the meal.
