This curious Tosa-bancha, which may remind you of a hojicha, is drunk mainly in Kochi city (located in Shikoku island). It also contains roasted shore beans and is characterized by its aroma. In Japanese cuisine, this tea will go quite well with grilled fish, and the combination of a grilled fish set meal and bancha at Tosa’s drive-in is one of our favorite combinations. This bancha is also recommended to make ochazuke (i.e., a simple Japanese dish made by pouring tea, dashi, or hot water over cooked rice). We are sure it will accompany cuisines which are not Japanese, and of course, you can enjoy it on its own!
