What goes with Hojicha?
Hojicha is roasted green tea, supplied as leaves or stems for infusion and as a fine powder for dispersing into food. Roasting shifts the aroma toward toast, nuts and wood; the brew still contains bitter and astringent tea constituents. An unsweetened infusion has little body or sweetness, unlike a sweetened milk-tea preparation.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Hojicha?
Roasted tea can connect caramel, honey and baked banana without adding another sugary ingredient. In savoury food its dry finish can sharpen the perception of mushroom broth or sweet celeriac. Build a clean tea infusion separately and add it late when a sauce would otherwise need a long reduction.
