Step 1
Heat 2 inches of neutral oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven to 350°F (use a thermometer).
Step 2
Whisk flour and ice water in a bowl until just combined; batter should be lumpy, not smooth.
Step 3
Stir dashi powder, mirin, and soy sauce with 0.5 cup water in a small pot; warm over low heat.
Step 4
Dip shrimp in batter, then slide into hot oil in batches; fry until golden and crispy, ~2–3 minutes.
Step 5
Transfer tempura to a paper-towel-lined plate; repeat with remaining shrimp.
Step 6
Divide rice between two bowls, top with tempura, drizzle sauce generously, and serve immediately.
