Recipe

In an airtight container, combine 4 cups water, 2/3 cup dashi, and 2 tablespoons sugar. Mix well until sugar dissolves, then cover and refrigerate until chilled.
Slice green onion thinly. Grate radish and squeeze out a small amount of juice, then shape into a small ball.
Bring a pot of water to a boil, then gently twist and add the buckwheat noodles.
As the noodles start to bubble and foam, reduce the heat slightly instead of adding more water, and cook until perfectly al dente.
Immediately transfer the cooked noodles to cold water (or ice water), rub them vigorously to remove starch, then drain thoroughly using a colander.
Place the noodles in a bowl and pour the chilled broth from the refrigerator over them.
Top with grated radish, sliced green onion, wasabi, seaweed powder, and ice cubes according to preference, then serve.

Mix water, dashi, and sugar together and refrigerate to make a cool broth.
Boil buckwheat noodles until chewy, then rinse thoroughly under cold water.
Place noodles in a bowl, pour broth over them, and top with radish, green onion, wasabi, seaweed powder, and ice cubes.

Cooking tips

For an even cooler experience, prepare the broth a few hours ahead and freeze it until just slightly frozen, forming a layer of ice crystals.
Instead of adding cold water while cooking, adjust the heat finely to maintain the noodles' chewiness longer.
