Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the kombu water to a gentle boil. Add the katsuobushi, stir once, and remove the pan from the heat. Let the flakes steep for 5 minutes, then strain the dashi through a fine-mesh strainer into a clean bowl, pressing gently on the flakes. Discard the solids.
