Teapress Japanese tea rosters as the name suggested are well known for their teas and also their ever so photogenic and adorable sweet treats that truly are a scrumptious partner with their well thought after tea menu.. Well other than the petite daifuku's which are their best seller, we came across something that is rather unique and not found in most Japanese restaurant menu which is the Ochazuke.. Ochazuke is actually a rice dish with a tea broth and sometimes the rice dish will be accompanied by either Salmon or Saba.. So when we were browsing through its newly revamped menu, we were really elated to find such a dish and didn't hesitate to have a go with it! So in their menu they have a Salmon or Saba option which is of same price and we went for the Salmon Ochazuke (RM15).. The wait wasn't too long and while you beginning to enjoy the wonders of the tea you've chosen, there comes the Ochazuke being serve together in a tray which is reminiscent to the style of a bento.. In that tray, it consists of the rice bowl which is has generous sprinkles of Mentai salmon that was crumbled and sliced seaweed and alongside it is a pot of tea broth that is warm and the plate of additional tea bits.. After pouring that lovely broth, we immediately had the first spoonful of it and it was really a surprise how light the tea was in terms of the color but in terms of the flavour is was really intense yet pleasant and it goes swimmingly well with the salmon and the rice.. This bowl is truly an amazing bowl of contrasting textures and flavours yet it goes harmoniously together in every spoonful!
