Yet another popular local beverage in Japan. Green tea leaves are mixed with toasted brown rice to make the drink. The rice makes the tea-like drink less bitter, and gives it an earthy and toasty flavor. Some people believe it originated in Kyoto, but others believe it came to Japan via Korea. It does not really matter, as it is still enjoyed as a traditional Japanese beverage. It can be mixed with different grades of green tea, including matcha and houjicha (roasted green tea). You can find this beverage in most restaurants. Most prefer it drank warm, but again, you can opt for the chilled version.
