Remove scales from the tai, clean guts and rinse well. Dry with paper towels.

Make holes with bamboo or stainless picks and slice fish at an angle, about 2 slices.

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. Again, bring to a boil and place fish in sauce, bring down to medium heat, use the sauce to help cook fish by using a ladle and pour 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, then put the sauce over the fish and somen noodles.

Makes four servings.
