Tuna ochazuke with black rice, topped with nori strips, green onion, bonito flakes, and sesame seeds, served with hot green tea poured over warm rice

Tuna Ochazuke

This Tuna Ochazuke is my personal take on a Japanese comfort dish, layering warm rice with tuna, nori, green onions, sesame, and bonito flakes, with hot green tea poured over. It’s a simple, light, and umami-rich meal that’s quick to prepare.
