Using a large frying pan, add mirin and sake. Turn heat to high and bring to a boil; add shoyu and water, sliced ginger, ume boshi and green onions.
Return to a boil and place fish in sauce, lower heat to medium and use the sauce to help cook fish by using a ladle to pour the sauce over fish.
Place somen in a big bowl and put fish on the side.
Taste the sauce first, and if it is too strong, add dashi (stock), then put the sauce over the fish and somen noodles.
Makes four servings.
