Place 20 ml mirin into pot and burn off the alcohol on a high heat (approx 30 seconds after boiling).
Add 500 ml dashi, 25 ml light soy and salt. Add the daikon and cook on a low heat for 20 minutes.
Place salmon skin side down in hot oiled grill pan and cook to medium rare.
Place sake and remaining mirin into a small pot and burn off the alcohol on a high heat. Add 100ml dashi, remaining light soy and salt to season. Cook the mushrooms in the broth until tender. Place the daikon in the centre of bowl surrounded by mushrooms. Pour dashi broth over and place salmon on top of daikon. Garnish with chives.
