Step 1
Gather all the ingredients.
Step 2
Add sake, mirin, soy sauce, kombu, and katsuobushi and bring it to a boil.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes. Then turn off the heat and let cool.
Step 4
Pass the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve (reserve the kombu and katsuobushi - see below). This mentsuyu is concentrated.
Step 5
Follow the noodle recipe instruction.
Step 6
You can store Mentsuyu in a mason jar in the refrigerator for up to a month.
Step 7
Use the leftover katsuobushi and kombu to make Homemade Furikake Rice Seasoning. You can also save the drained katsuobushi and kombu in the freezer until you're ready to make Furikake.
