- 3 tbsp mirin
- 6 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sugar
Instructions
- Soak 5 g dried kelp (kombu) in 500 ml water for 30 minutes.
- Transfer the kelp and water to a saucepan and heat on medium-low.

- Strain the bonito flakes.
- Serve immediately while it's hot, or leave to cool and chill in the refrigerator for cold dishes. Enjoy!
Notes
- This mentsuyu can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or frozen for up to 1 month.
- Serving amount of 6 is based on dipping and would be more like 3-4 if used for a bowl of soupy noodles.
