It is also known as 'Brown Rice Tea', as it is a blend of steamed green tea and toasted rice. Mochi Gome A special varietal of rice known as 'Mochi-Gome' is used in making Genmaicha. Upon roasting, this varietal develops a deep golden color. It sometimes 'pops' into white kernels similar to popcorn.

Both must be blended in proportions that create a balanced flavor. Flavor Profile Earthy, nutty aroma with a smooth, mild savory taste. Pairing Genmaicha pairs especially well with breakfast breads, rice desserts and fruit pastries.
