Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

    Seasonings

    • [A] Soy Sauce 2 tbsp
    • [A] Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine) 4 tbsp
    • [A] Sake 4 tbsp
    • [A] Bonito Powder 4g
    • [A] Hi-Me (Umami Seasoning) 8 dashes
    • [A] Salt 1 tsp
    • [A] Umeboshi (Pickled Plum) 1 piece
    • Cold Water 250cc
    • Sugar 1 tsp

    Steps

    1. Add 2 tbsp soy sauce, 4 tbsp Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine), 4 tbsp sake, 4g bonito powder, 8 dashes Hi-Me (Umami Seasoning), 1 tsp salt, and 1 umeboshi (pickled plum) to a bowl. 【Chef's Tip!】 Adding bonito powder dramatically improves the flavor. Hi-Me serves as a substitute for kelp, adding an elegant umami. Umeboshi is for flavor, so you can omit it if you don't like it.
    2. Transfer all ingredients to a pot and bring to a boil to evaporate the alcohol. 【Chef's Tip!】 Since sake and Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine) are included, be sure to boil thoroughly to remove the alcohol.
    3. Once the alcohol has evaporated, add 250cc cold water and chill thoroughly in the refrigerator or freezer.
    4. Add 1 tsp sugar to the chilled dipping sauce, according to your preference.
