Gather all the ingredients.
Make 6 cups of dashi and leave on simmer.
In the meantime, chop onions.
In a frying pan, add oil and cook onions on medium heat until translucent. Should be around 2-4 minutes. Set aside once cooked.
Chop green onions into thin slices and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, add and combine ground beef, ground pork, milk, eggs, 1/2 tbsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper and grilled onions.
Take a small amount of the meatball mix and throw from one hand to another while gently cupping the meatball with the palm of hands to form shape. Meatballs should be a little bigger than a golf ball and you should end up with 12-16 meatballs. Note - these meatballs are very fragile, so handle with care.
Bring dashi to soft boil then add Japanese sake and meatballs. Lower heat to medium low, cover 7/8 ways and cook for 10-12 minutes.
Once meatballs are cooked, add 1 tsp salt and 2 tbsp soy sauce. Taste and adjust tastes with salt only. Transfer meatballs & soup to serving bowl and top with chopped green onions. Note - when serving, make sure you mix the soup around to mix in the oils from up on top as the soup will be very hot!
