Japanese clear soup recipe?

I had a Japanese steakhouse. It was clear, had mushrooms, scallions and something with a little crunch. I don't remember exactly, but no carrots, celery or lemons in there. Any help?Japanese clear soup recipe?
Sounds like clear mushroom soup. The crunch was probably Japanese daikon (long white radish). Yum!



It typically contains thins slices of white radish, one or more types of mushrooms (white, shiitake, snowpuff) in a broth of hon-dashi. Hon-dashi (bonito) is Japanese fish stock, which can be found in pelleted powder form in almost any oriental food store.
