Notes

  • *1 Homemade Dashi recipe here. If you don't want to make dashi from scratch, add 1 tsp of dashi powder. 
  • *2 If you can not access to shiitake mushrooms, I substitute with Swiss brown mushrooms. 
  • *3 Using those cutter is only for decoration purpose. If you don't have one and, just slice it thinly. 
  • *4 You can either cook it in oven, or grill like I did in the photo indicate in the post above. 
  • *5 Naruto is optional. If you have them, it add some colour and make it prettier. 
  • *6 Preferbully Usukuchi if you can access 
  • *7 If you can not access to sake, you can omit or substitute with Chinese wine or dry sherry 
  • *8 Komatsuna can be substituted by a bunch of spinach.
  • *9 preparation of ingredients are same as Kansai style
