What I have noticed over the years is that sometimes I have to adjust the water depending on the type of rice that I am using and altitude. Trial and error.
I love Nori and eat the strips as a snack. I also add it to soups.
Whenever I have made Dashi I buy the dried flakes in an Asian market. In SF I was spoiled being near Japantown. Do you mean with MSG or with no MSG?

NO MSG! You can buy the hon dashi mixes but they all have msg. Or I can buy bonita flakes and make it I guess but even some of the bonita flakes have msg. You can really make good miso soup or many other recipes without it.
My sushi rice is ok. I have good days and bad days. lol But I don't use that much rice.
I love love Asian food
