Description
This dish is one of the delights of summer in my opinion! I first tasted it on the plane to japan, and i've been hooked ever since. You can make it as simple or as complicated as you wish by adding more garnishes eg. Shredded egg omlette, sake steamed chicken, cooked shrimps etc etc. Even the garnishes i've listed are optional!
