Chasoba
Like an adult bento box, OChaCha delivers its food in funky shaped crockery; highly-stylized shapes for highly-designed minidishes. Tuck in heartily with the elegant chopsticks; throwing in bits of kombu(rubbery seaweed from the top-left pot), nori strips from the lighter coloured vessel, and a dash of lotus from the third bowl. Such a way of eating(porridge) becomes a pauper's feast; the king's restorative.
P.S. The Cha, in chasoba is repeated twice in OChaCha, which makes it remarkable because it is the same green powder in OchaCha's drinks(starbucks matcha latte's contender); now donning the soba cha!(not char), green in awe of its entire length, and we have eaten green tea for dinner! The chopsticks sucked the raw energy of the green stones, transferring it onto our dishes and making them green.
