How to Make
1. To a medium-size pot, add the sake, soy sauce, mirin, water, and misanshō. Place the pot on medium heat and bring it to a boil.
2. Add the kama-age shirasu. Stir occasionally to help the shirasu absorb the flavors in the pot.

 

 

3. When the water is nearly completely evaporated, transfer the contents of the pot to a tray and spread them out. Use a hand-held fan or something similar to fan the shirasu and evaporate the remaining water. Your shirasu sanshō will keep for a week in a refrigerator or a month in a freezer.
