Soupless tantanmen with freshly ground sansho
The story behind the bowl
Musashi-bo strips the dish to its essentials—noodles, minced pork, scallions, sesame, chili and the electric citrus fragrance of sansho. The pleasure comes from adjusting numbness and mixing thoroughly.
Before you go: Begin at a moderate numbness level; freshly ground sansho can be more powerful than the chili.
