Step 1
Bring a pot of salted water to boil. Add spinach and cook until wilted and tender, about 90 seconds.
Step 2
Drain spinach in a colander. Once cool enough to handle, squeeze gently to remove excess water.
Step 3
In a bowl, whisk dashi powder, soy sauce, and mirin together until the powder dissolves.
Step 4
Add the squeezed spinach to the dashing mixture and toss gently to coat evenly.
Step 5
Divide between serving bowls. Top with bonito flakes and sesame seeds. Chill for at least 10 minutes before serving.
