I tried making these since I bought a lot of sardines!

For those concerned about the small bones, mince diligently! The vegetables and sardines will produce a lot of tasty broth, so you should only need a pinch of salt!
It's also good with miso. Recipe by emi-ru

Steps

1

Cut off the heads of the sardines, butterfly, clean, then remove the skin (leave the small bones).
2

Finely mince the green onion, grate the ginger, and mince together with the sardines on a cutting board. Add the katakuriko halfway through and continue mincing.
3

Add the sake to the minced sardines, then lightly season with salt.
4

Julienne the daikon radish and carrot. Chop the potato into bite-sized pieces, then soak them in water.
5

Bring the dashi soup stock to a boil in a pot, then add the daikon radish, carrot, and potato and simmer. Scoop balls of the sardines with a spoon, then drop them into the soup.
6

Add the shimeji mushrooms and continue to simmer.
7

Once the soup becomes flavorful, add a pinch of salt, stir in some soy sauce. (Some people commented that they add miso to the soup instead of soy sauce; I tried this and it turned out very tasty.)
8

Sprinkle on the green onions and serve.
