Dobin Mushi is a popular Japanese dish made with clear broth prepared with dashi (fish broth) and shiitake mushrooms, served in a small cast iron teapot called a dobin. The broth is typically flavored with sake, soy sauce, and sesame oil to add flavor.

Additional ingredients vary by region and personal preferences, but may include shrimp, mussels, chicken, seaweed, tofu, and vegetables such as carrots, leeks, and shimeji mushrooms. The ingredients are arranged in the teapot and covered with broth, then the teapot is placed over a flame to simmer everything together.

Dobin Mushi is traditionally served in upscale Japanese restaurants as a light and refined appetizer. It is typically consumed by pouring the broth and ingredients into a separate bowl and enjoying it hot.
