Great post, meskarune! I love chazuke. I learnt about it while I was going to school in Japan. Many don't know it, but Ochazuke, having been made with leftovers, was originally meant to be served to guests to let them know in no uncertain terms, that it was time they were on their way. Very subtle, the Japanese. Good luck with your studies and five
