Gently stir in the mirin and soy sauce, blending until fully incorporated. The sauce should have a rich, balanced aroma. (1 minute)
For a vegetarian option, ensure your dashi granules are vegetarian-friendly (often made from mushroom or kelp).
Adjust the soy sauce to your preference. Start with 2 tablespoons and add more to taste, especially if using a lower-sodium soy sauce.
The sauce is best served at room temperature or slightly warm. Avoid refrigerating for optimal flavor.
Prepare the sauce ahead of time and allow the flavors to meld for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Consider adding a tiny pinch of red pepper flakes for a subtle hint of heat.
