"Hojicha" is becoming more popular these days because it has a fragrant taste and less caffeine. It is used not only as a beverage, but also as a flavor for cooking and sweets. I bought a powder-type hojicha that is easy to use, and I enjoyed it widely, so I would like to introduce it.

I bought "Ooi Ocha Sarasara Hojicha" from Ito En. It dissolves not only in hot water but also in water, so you can quickly prepare and drink at work or on the go. If you add warm milk after melting it in a small amount of hot water, the popular hojicha latte will be ready in no time! By adding aroma to the rich milk, it becomes refreshing and has a savory taste.











As a simple arrangement other than beverages, it is recommended to put it on vanilla ice cream. By adding the aroma of roasted green tea to the sweetness of ice cream, it changes to an elegant taste. Also, if you sprinkle on rice with dried plums and pour hot water, you can make ochazuke with a different taste from the green tea base. It's very easy and warms your body, so it seems to be useful for lunch at work in cold weather.






Arrangement of hojicha that makes you want to try various things once you get it. Powder type products are available from various companies, so why not buy one if you see it at a supermarket? In addition, powder type barley tea is also available from ITO EN. This can also be quickly dissolved in hot or cold water, so you can enjoy it anytime, regardless of the season.
