Beeeesssspoooooke—is there a lovelier word? Duck into Dashi Okume, the Greenpoint outpost of the 150-year-old Tokyo dashi shop, and prepare to be dazzled by the 30 ingredient choices that a patient master blender will walk you through. There are silvery dried fishes, gnarled mushrooms, pine-green kelp shards and more. At the end, your choices will pass through a Rube Goldberg contraption and emerge as precious bespoke dashi sachets that you can name whatever you like.
