Enoki's fruity sourness goes well with mustard and white wine. The sauce is creamy, thanks to enoki, and has a clear soy sauce flavor, which also is a great match with mustard. For mustard lovers, this is a wonderful take on mushroom sauce.

<Notes>
- Fish can be grilled or steamed.
- This sauce tastes quite strong, and the above amount should be enough for larger pieces of fish (300 g or more in total).
- Above, two asparagus spears were microwaved while cooking fish and served together. It’s always nice to have something green on your plate.
- Western mustard paste works fine, too. If using Western mustard, cut back on vinegar according to the sourness of the mustard. Also watch the sodium content of mustard from jars or karashi paste in tubes, if you are on low-sodium diet (karashi powder is free of sodium).
- The above nutrition figures are based on sprinkling 0.3 g salt on fish and 75% of salt being absorbed by fish. Basically, 0.3 g salt translates into a very generous pinch in my case (my pinch of salt is 0.1 g; a pinch of salt in most Japanese cookbooks is 0.2 g when nutrition is calculated).
