Koshiki’s children ask for Hiyashichuka as soon as the weather warms up: chilled curly wheat noodle topped with cucumber, carrots, tomato, eggs, and chilled and shredded chicken (or substitute tofu) drizzled with refreshing sesame vinaigrette.

Most of all, this salad-like noodle dish has well-balanced ingredients (grain, vegetable, protein, seeds, egg), a balance of flavor elements (sweet, sour, salty, fatty, and pungent), and will make you full and satisfied.

Menu:

Home-made noodle

Sesame dressing

Kinshi Tamago

Shredded chicken or tofu

Other vegetable toppings
