It's delicious tea... not soup... 
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.

The tea was great, the shipping was very fast,excelent service.
This is the stuff!
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.
