1 cup dashi
1 tablespoon mirin (sweet rice wine)

Have ready a large bowl of ice and cold water. Stir together dashi, mirin, and soy sauce in a large shallow bowl.
Leaving stems attached, divide spinach into 2 piles. Stack spinach leaves and line up bottoms of stems, then tie each pile into a bundle with kitchen string 1/2 inch from ends of stems. Blanch spinach bundles in a large saucepan of boiling salted water 1 minute and transfer to ice water. When spinach is cool, gently squeeze excess water from bundles and transfer to dashi mixture. Marinate at room temperature, turning occasionally, 3 hours.
