Menya Musashi’s crazy new take on ramen actually makes it taste like a different famous dish.
mochi ice cream
We thought everyone in Japan already knew how good these are, but somehow a very important life experience had been slipping through the cracks for Seiji.
We love Yukimi Daifuku ice creams, but will we love them when they’re wrapped in pork and floating in a hot, salty broth?
Snacks don’t get much more decadent than fried ice cream, but it can be intimidating to make for inexperienced fryers. Luckily we found that using Japanese ice cream snacks coated in gelatinous rice known as mochi instead really simplified things without sacrificing any of the taste.
