Both pickles and Kinzan-Temple-Miso are appetizing and makes you want another bowl of Okaisan.

“Okaisan” is Tea-Okayu in Wakayama…
Okaisan is a food commonly eaten on an everyday basis which is made with tea. Some people eat it
every day. It has been traditionally eaten as a local food.

Hot & cool both are great!!

You can make Okaisan at home. Recipe of Okaisan.

Kinokawa City enhances nutritional education

Ingredients
Rice (approximately 160 g)
One bag of your favorite tea
1500-2000 cc Water

Announcing!
First in Kinki
Kinokawa City aims to be a healthy city where citizens have lively physical and mental lives bypromoting nutritional education with our dietary culture in our rich land. Our declaration ofnutritional education makes it clear that our goal is to spread the knowledge of nutrition as a civic
campaign for being a better city to all.

Let’s cook Wakayama’s favorite Okaisan with a rich ﬂavor and an appetizing smell at home.
Roasted tea is commonly used but coarse tea and green tea is also used depending on the family.
Therefore please choose your favorite tea. It is a simple dish made with just water and rice. Please
try to make it.
1. Put water and the tea bag into pot. Extract the tea by boiling until the water becomes brown.
2. Pull out the tea bag and put the washed rice in. Stir lightly and simmer over a strong ﬁre. Do
not stir too much.
3. Simmer until the rice becomes a little round and big. If you like sticky Okaisan, simmer it alittle longer.
4. It is recommended to eat cold in summer and hot in winter.

Long-loved Wakayama’s favorite foodA long history divides the types of Okayu.
…
If you ask people from Wakayama what color okayu is, most of them will probably say it is browneven though white okayu is the most common in Japan. People in Wakayama call okayu “Okaisan”
and use tea to make it.
Recipes and how it is eaten varies for each family, but typically we can categorize them into
whether it is sticky or more liquid. Usually in the summer you put it in the fridge and eat it cold. On
the other hand you can eat it hot in the winter. Of course you can eat it your own favorite way
regardless of season. Please try the great tea scent and light tea ﬂavor of Okaisan. It will go down
your throat smoothly whether it is hot or cold.
Pickles go with Okaisan very well…
Rinse it… washing pickles!?
Pickles always come with Okaisan. Around the Kinokawa City area cucumbers and eggplant pickles
are cut into pieces and soaked in water to reduce the acidity. This process is called “washing.” A
gourmet way of eating it is adding grated ginger and soy sauce to them and you will eat them withshaved dried bonito or sesames.
Eating with Kinzan-Temple-Miso, which is Wakayama’s popular local miso, is also good. This miso
contains pepos, eggplants, ginger and more vegetables. It tastes sweet and sour and goes together
with Okaisan.
