A refreshing and appetising taste is just what the season calls for. This summer, Takano introduces two limited-time creations - "Spicy Yuzu Miso Salmon and Ikura Cold Noodles" and "Japanese Eggplant Tempura Stuffed with Shrimp Paste". From homemade noodles and specially crafted sauces to thoughtfully selected ingredients, every detail is carefully considered to showcase the refined layers of Japanese flavours.
Spicy Yuzu Miso Salmon and Ikura Cold Noodles
Homemade Daily for a Delightfully Springy Texture
Our noodles are freshly homemade in-house every day without additives, using a carefully selected blend of Japanese flours. After maturing overnight, the noodles retain their firm and springy texture while offering excellent sauce absorption, allowing the signature Spicy Yuzu Miso Sauce to coat every strand evenly.
Spicy Yuzu Miso Sauce - Refreshing Citrus Aroma with a Gentle Kick
The specially-crafted cold noodles sauce begins with a rich miso base, blended with yuzu dressing oil and a touch of chilli oil. Finely chopped yuzu peel is then added to further enhance its bright citrus aroma. The savoury depth of miso is balanced by the refreshing acidity of yuzu, followed by a subtle hint of spice, creating an appetising flavour profile with delicate complexity.
Norwegian Salmon with Assorted Toppings for Layers of Texture
Premium Norwegian salmon is gently slow-roasted at a low temperature and lightly seared, before being finished over medium-low heat to achieve an appetising golden-orange surface while locking in its natural oils and umami, resulting in a tender texture.
The cold noodles are further complemented by glistening ikura, tender shredded egg, finely sliced shiso leaves, shredded Japanese chashu and cucumber. Each topping is finely sliced to create contrasting textures while allowing the ingredients to blend effortlessly with the noodles and sauce, bringing balance and refinement to every bite.
Japanese Eggplant Tempura Stuffed with Shrimp Paste
Alongside cold noodles, Takano also introduces "Japanese Eggplant Tempura Stuffed with Shrimp Paste". Delicate Japanese eggplant is filled with sweet and springy shrimp paste, coated in a light tempura batter and deep-fried until beautifully golden.
The first bite reveals a delicately crisp exterior, followed by the soft texture of Japanese eggplant and the succulent, bouncy bite of shrimp. The contrasting textures complement one another perfectly, making them an ideal accompaniment to cold noodles and adding a refined, crispy touch to the dining experience.
Visit Takano this season and discover two limited-time creations, from the refreshing "Spicy Yuzu Miso Salmon and Ikura Cold Noodles" to the crispy yet tender "Japanese Eggplant Tempura Stuffed with Shrimp Paste", each showcasing the craftsmanship and delicate flavours of Japanese cuisine.
