@jOsHuA234186 The konbu's contribution to the soup are the soluble minerals and amino acids that produce the umami taste. As these substances are often found as precipitates on the surface of the konbu leaves, the seaweed should NOT be rinsed before use.

i think you should rinse the sea weed first :)

Benito flakes (skipjack) is the common fish used for miso. It is called Katsuobushi.. You can find them pre-flaked at an asian market. The seaweed should in fact not be rinsed as the white powdery deposits are starches/carbohydrates which lend significant flavor. However, you do want to soak it for about 30 mins to rehydrate prior to boiling but in the water and pot you will boil it in. Do not drain/strain the water less you will be wasting flavor.

@jOsHuA234186 arent the nutrients the powdery stuff on the seaweed?

Katsuo Bushi are fish flakes, not chips :) They're dried and you can get them in a huge bag or little mini packets. They're great as a topping for several things too :)
