Secret Recipe: Junsai Somen by Jeff Ramsey

This dish is refreshing and light, without any oil. Even without using fat and strong seasoning, we can make a satisfying dish with complex aromatic qualities because of the use of dashi, which is high in umami. The umami is key to making delicate foods that have great depth of flavour.

Another comes from Fukuoka and lives to bring joy through ramen and a little bit of humour, while a third chef from Gunma makes some of the purest sushi Bangkok has seen and tasted. In discovering the stories of three of the city’s prominent Japanese chefs, we realise that, despite each of their uniqueness, they share many traits and ideas in common— most significantly a deep-rooted passion for their work.
