Turn leftover New Year's mochi into a light snack by lightly frying and sprinkling with salt. For such a treat, we recommend "058 Harumidori", a tea with umami and sweetness that pairs well with rice.
This gentle and refined tea has a beautiful light green color characteristic of lightly steamed sencha. For the first infusion, use less water for a stronger extraction, and for the second, use more water for a refreshing taste.
