Professor Toyama’s Quick Note

A quick recipe using cooked mochimugi and canned salmon!
Enjoy the refreshing aroma and crisp texture of myoga. This dish helps improve stamina, aids recovery from fatigue, and prevents summer heat fatigue. Since myoga has a strong astringency, soak the slices in water for about 10 seconds after cutting.
