RECIPE: Hiyajiru
This hiyajiru (literally chilled soup) has a base of ground sesame seeds, miso and Japanese horse mackerel, thinned with dashi stock. A generous helping of cucumbers, freshly cooked udon noodles, and crisp scallions are added for a filling yet refreshing dish. Toss in a few ice cubes just before serving for an extra chill!
