Ingredients

6.5g rausu kombu

7g yakiago

7.5g thick sababushi

4g fermented bonito flakes

750ml cold water

Method

  • Combined kombu, yakiago, and water in a pot and soaked for 2 hours.
  • Added saba and brought up to 172°F
  • Held at 172°F for 45 minutes
  • Took off the heat and added bonito flakes for 5-6 minutes.

Tasting Notes

  • Delicious, with lots of contrasting fish flavors
  • Need to experiment with a heavier amount of yakiago to get a feel for its taste alone
