Depurative Soup of Daikon, Shiitake and Kombu
A concentrated, very savory broth. Dried daikon, shiitake and kombu are cooked for 45 minutes in their soaking waters and served with vegetable broth and a few drops of tamari. Given its intensity of flavour, it is an occasional preparation, not for daily use.
