The final installment will feature a salad that uses a “dried food of the sea,” wakame seaweed. In Japan, a nation surrounded by the sea, seaweed has been part of the diet since ancient times.

Place miso in a ladle, dip into the dashi and loosen with chopsticks. Place over medium heat. Add the dried wakame and fu. 4. Ladle the soup into bowls and add mitsuba, cut into 3 to 4cm lengths.
