I did some research on the internet and made my own version using ingredients at hand.

Dried bonito gives the mentsuyu a very refined taste. Dried bonito flakes makes a strong dashi stock.
After straining, use the bonito to make stock from a second, third, and fourth batch for other dishes, like oden (fish cake stew), simmered dishes, takikomi gohan (rice cooked with other ingredients), or soup. It's really tasty! Recipe by vegecat
