Ikano shiokara gives a strong and unique flavor to food. It goes well with rice, however, for this dish, we used the shiokara to enhance the taste of the ramen soup with milk. The dish goes well with sake too.
This recipe is designed and created specially for the exhibition at Japan Booth during FHA 2018.
