Combine the water, dried kombu, and dried shiitake mushrooms in a large pot. Let soak at room temperature for 30 minutes, until the mushrooms are softened and the water has turned a light amber color.
Place the pot over medium heat and bring to a bare simmer — small bubbles at the edges, not a rolling boil. Remove and discard the kombu just before the water reaches a full simmer (about 140–150°F / 60–65°C), then continue to simmer the shiitakes for 15 minutes. Remove the shiitakes with a slotted spoon and reserve for another use or discard. Strain the broth through a fine-mesh strainer into a clean pot and discard any solids.
