Takezo-san,

I have never heard of dashi being made only with konbu. Is this a regional

No not regional. If we are thinking of common dashi uses such as =
Miso-shiru or Suimono,
then yes you would never see "Konbu-Only" dashi.
But you may see a Konbu-only dashi for other things, such=20
as a mizutaki (hot pot using water?).
