Shirunashi tantanmen, level 2, with finishing rice
The story behind the bowl
Fine noodles, sesame, chili oil, minced meat, scallions and numbing sansho are meant to be mixed until glossy. Kunimatsu helped popularize this modern Hiroshima staple by openly sharing its recipe.
Before you go: Mix at least twenty times from the bottom. Add rice only after the noodles are gone.
