HONZU's VISION 

Honzu is an elevated take on classic Japanese Kombini style cuisine, in support of Japanese Tencha (unground Matcha) farmers. Heritage Matcha farmers shade tea bushes using rice straw. This practice, known as Honzu, is becoming commercially extinct. Honzu sourcing includes rice from the same farmers that provide straw for Matcha cultivation.

Serving made-to-order, generously stuffed Ongiri with single cultivar rice. Classics like Chicken Karaage and Ebi-Fry, batter and fried in-house. As a mission-driven company, you're excited to deepen your appreciation and mastery of the Japanese culinary arts.
