Como fazer Tsuyu Mentsuyu Mendare Japanese Noodle Sauce

In a medium-sized pot, combine 4 cups (800ml) water, 1 cup (200ml) soy sauce, and ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce heat to medium-low, and gently skim off any foam or scum that rises to the surface.
Add 1 cup (approximately 10g) dried bonito flakes (katsuobushi) and 4 inches (10cm) kombu seaweed (kelp). Heat to a gentle simmer.
As soon as the mixture returns to a simmer, immediately remove from heat. Do not boil.
Stir in ⅓ cup (80ml) mirin. Cover and refrigerate overnight (at least 8 hours) to allow the flavors to meld.
Line a fine-mesh sieve with several layers of cheesecloth. Carefully pour the cooled tsuyu through the sieve, straining multiple times until the broth is perfectly clear. Discard the solids.
(Optional) Use the leftover bonito flakes and kombu to make furikake: Chop the kombu, then stir-fry with the flakes, sesame seeds, and a touch of teriyaki sauce.
Transfer the strained tsuyu to a clean glass or plastic bottle with a tight-fitting lid. Refrigerate. Keeps for at least one year.
Enjoy your homemade tsuyu in your favorite noodle dishes, or as a base for other sauces and marinades!
