Chazuke (茶漬け, ちゃづけ) or ochazuke (お茶漬け, from (o)cha 'tea' + tsuke 'submerge') is a simple Japanese dish made by pouring green tea, dashi, or hot water over cooked rice. Toppings are often added; common toppings include furikake, nori (seaweed), sesame seeds, scallions, tsukemono (pickled vegetables), umeboshi (pickled plum), shiokara (pickled seafood), tarako (salted and marinated pollock roe), salted salmon, and wasabi.
Chazuke provides a way to use leftover rice as a quick snack because it is easy to make. In Kyoto, ochazuke is known as bubuzuke. Since the 1970s, packaged "instant ochazuke", consisting of freeze-dried toppings and seasonings, has become popular.
