Second post in a row that has what looks like a pile of brown sugar on the side of the plate. What is that?

I tried finding out. It appears this dish is called Mazesoba and the sugar-like substance is Bonito powder.

Thank you! Very interesting. I find a lot of the food posted here looks delicious but lacks context.

Interesting that Bonito Flakes are banned in the EU due to high levels of a carcinogenic hydrocarbon.
