Instructions

  1. Combine 4 tablespoons usukuchi soy sauce, 2 tablespoons sake, 1 teaspoon sugar, and 1 cup dashi stock in a pot, and bring to a rolling boil.
  2. Boil the mixture for 1 minute to burn off the alcohol, then allow to cool and refrigerate. You can also chill in an ice bath.
  3. Bring a large, wide pot of water to a boil for the somen noodles.
  4. Set a timer for the amount of time specified on the somen package (usually 2-3 minutes) and lower the 300 grams somen noodles into the boiling water simultaneously.
  5. When the timer is up, strain the cooked noodles immediately and rinse under cold water until chilled.
  6. Serve the cold somen in a bowl of ice water alongside the chilled dipping sauce with various condiments like chopped scallions, grated ginger, shredded nori, and shiso.
