【Hiyashi Chuka】Cool, Tangy, and Addictive: Japanese Cold Ramen

Cool, tangy, and refreshing—Hiyashi Chuka (Japanese Cold Ramen) is the ultimate summer noodle dish you’ll want to enjoy all season long.

In this video, I’ll show you how to make chilled noodles topped with crisp cucumber, juicy tomato, soft egg ribbons, tender shrimp, and crab sticks. What really makes this dish special is the tangy-sweet soy–vinegar sauce—and I’ve created a new ratio that makes it even more delicious and perfectly balanced.

Each bite is a burst of flavors and textures: the springy noodles, crunchy vegetables, savory toppings, and a refreshing sauce that ties everything together. Light yet satisfying, this is a Japanese summer classic you can easily make at home.
