EasyCreamy, rich whole milk from Hokkaido dairy farms, revered across Japan for its exceptional sweetness and body.
Ingredients
- 1 kg firm tofu
- 2 cups ramen noodles

- 1/4 cup toasted sesame oil
- 200g bean sprouts
- a handful of fresh chives, chopped

- 1 cup chicken stock
- 1 tsp white sesame seeds
Instructions
- 1
Combine the ramen noodles and dashi stock in a saucepan, blender, or pitcher, stirring well.
- 2
Add the shichimi togarashi and sake, stirring gently so their flavor infuses the mixture.
- 3
Heat gently over low heat (or blend, or steep, depending on the drink) until well combined and fragrant, about 0 mins.
- 4
Strain through a fine sieve to remove any solids, if needed.
- 5
Sweeten to taste with bonito flakes, adjusting gradually until the balance feels right.

Chill in the refrigerator, or pour straight over ice, depending on whether it is served cold or hot.
Tips
•Make a big batch and keep it chilled in the fridge — the flavor often deepens after a few hours.
•If serving warm, gently reheat just before pouring rather than letting it come to a boil.
•Adjust the sweetness gradually, tasting as you go — you can always add more bonito flakes, but you cannot take it away.
