A traditional dish prepared in homes in Miyazaki. Small fish are grilled, crushed in a mortar and blended with a mix of ground sesame seeds and miso. The resulting paste is smeared over the surface of a large soup bowl, then held over a flame until it is lightly browned. The paste is mixed with cold cooking stock, together with slices of cucumber and chopped green shiso herb, and finally the chilled soup is ladled over cooked rice mixed with barley.
