I learned this dish from my mum. My mum used to crush the hard sake lees into paste using a pestle and mortar. I chose my easy way.

After adding the sake lees, cook for a while to evaporate the alcohol content.
Add the fish after bringing the soup to a boil. It will kill the strong fishy smell.
I used the salted salmon so I don't add any salt. Use some if necessary. Recipe by Pukuttopukumaru
