hiyayakko

My new Japanese addiction is Hiyayakko. I eat tofu raw at home all the time and my mother fries the tofu with different things. However, whenever I'm at Chaya in Costa Mesa, I always have to get my Jasmine Milk Tea and my Hiyayakko.

The secret to this tiny refreshing dish is the bonito fish shavings. It's my favorite part of the dish so I always ask for more. There is also ginger in this dish, but I don't like it and ask for it separately. It's the perfect study break food.
