Pointers from Rie
- By using lemon juice, the color of the avocado will remain green.
- It is recommended to add soy sauce right before eating because the soy sauce will make the bonito harden.
- The refreshing scent of Japanese parsley unifies the umami from the bonito, the richness from the avocado, and the sourness from the plum.
