Shitakes are presently undergoing an overnight soak in cold water. Tomorrow using the strained "broth", I'll add dried shrimp and allow to soak for awhile.
And the shitakes will be sliced and woked with bok choy along with a side of woked firm tofu and strips of hot pepper beef.

What a coincidence! I'm planning on making a shitake and dried shrimp dashi this weekend as well! I may stroll down to Southeast Market and get some kombu, haven't decided yet.

Most asian supermarkets here are nuts, too. 1,5g packages for 3 euros. Right. I found a dedicated Japanese market lately that has way better prices. Asking around in the Japanese expat community might give you a decent adress (helps that my girlfriend learns japanese and knows some guys who can get you into contact with some guys who may have the adress of the right guys)
I know, Chris, but that's all that most stores have. Fortunately, I found one where you can get large packages at a decent price, so I can make dashi without selling my firstborn now.
