My parents made dashi stock with lots of bonito flakes. They used to use freshly shaved bonito.

The ratio of water to soy sauce to mirin is 3:1:1, but this takes into acount that the sauce will be diluted a bit with grated daikon radish so it's quite salty. If you aren't using grated daikon radish use a 4:1:1 ratio instead. If you make a lot of the 3:1:1 ratio sauce, you can store it in the refrigerator for about a week. Chill this well to use as a dipping sauce for cold somen or soba noodles. Since somen noodles are cooled in ice water, this sauce should be just the right strength. Recipe by Okaraseijin
