Original Recipe Yield 4 bowls

Ingredients

4 cups water
1 (4 inch) piece dashi kombu (dried kelp)
1 cup bonito shavings (dry fish flakes)
2/3 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sake
4 naruto (fish paste stick with a red spiral pattern)
1/4 cup spinach, rinsed and sliced
4 slices yuzu (citron) peel

Directions

To Make Dashi: Rinse kelp and pat dry. Place kelp in a medium size pot, along with the 3 cups of water. Steep in the water for 3 hours.
After steeping, bring the water with kelp in it to a boil. Then remove and discard the kelp. Remove the water from the heat and let it cool for 5 minutes.
Place the fish flakes in a pot of water. Bring the pot of water to a boil. When the shavings have sunk to the bottom of the pot, strain, reserving the liquid. This is the dashi, the basic broth for Japanese soups and dishes.
While making the dashi, place the spinach in a small pot of water and bring to a boil. When the spinach is cooked, drain well.
Pour salt, thin soy sauce and sake in the heated dashi. Ladle the soup into bowls for servings. Into each bowl place one piece each of mishi cake, spinach and fish paste. Put a piece of citrus rind in each bowl.
