Summary: Homey flavor
Comment: Delicious, warming, nourishing tea for a chilly day. This product is a bagged mixture of green tea and little bits of toasted rice. When brewed, you get tea that has a sort of cozy, toasty, nutty flavor to it. It's really pleasant to sip on a blustery autumn day! Some tips: green tea is more delicate than black, so use water that is slightly cooled from boiling--not at boiling temperature--as you would with an herbal tea. Also, this tea, IMHO, is best left unsweetened; the sugar would mask the delicate green tea flavor and the nuttiness of the toasted rice. Brew it for about 3-5 minutes, although (unlike with black tea) you won't end up with an undrinkably bitter brew if left in longer.
Also, as noted before--this is tea, NOT soup. The rice is enclosed in the bag with the tea leaves. It lends flavor, not substance.

Summary: This is the stuff!
Comment: Ujinotsuyu's genmaicha is one of my favorite packaged teas. It has a rich, strong, and full taste. In comparison, Yamatoyama's genmaicha tastes a little burnt, and other genmaichas seem somewhat diluted. If you like the genmaicha served in Japanese restaurants, you really ought to try Ujinotsuyu's version -- you're going to love this stuff. These tea bags are strong enough for two uses (steepings).
I've gone out of my way to purchase this tea. In the New York City metropolitan area, one may also find Ujinotsuyu's genmaicha in ethnic Japanese, Korean, and Chinese supermarkets, although searching may be required.

Summary: It's delicious tea... not soup...
Comment: This has become one of my favorite teas for afterdinner. I've never been a big fan of tea until I traveled through parts of asia. One of the best parts of this tea is the aroma from the roasted brown rice. It's a very subtle tea with a nutty flavor (roasted brown rice). Definitely not a sweet tea, nor is it bitter. Just so people don't get this confused. This is not a soup. Don't expect to be "eating" anything. Just steep it up and enjoy.

Summary: not what I would call green tea with brown rice though
Comment: I have tried this tea and was disappointed. The taste of green tea was there though. I was looking forward to actual tea leaves AND actual roasted brown rice to nibble on.
