Heat the oil in a medium soup pot. Sauté the onions for 5 minutes until translucent. Add shiitake, water, kombu and bonito flakes to the pot. Cover and bring to a boil.

Remove the stems from the shiitake, discard stems, slice caps thin, and set aside. Ladle the soup into 4 ovenproof earthenware soup bowls. Evenly sprinkle the grated mochi on top. Bake at 450° for 10 minutes or until the mochi melts like cheese. Remove and garnish with sliced shiitake, croutons and scallions before serving.
