What is Dashi?
Dashi is the essential savory stock foundation of Japanese food. Made by simmering whole natural ingredients like Bonito, Kombu, and Shiitake, this clear golden soup adds deep Umami to any dish—from traditional Japanese soups to your favorite risottos.
Dashi forms the foundation of flavour in cooking. Based on umami, it allows you to experience “deliciousness” without increasing salt, sugar, or fat, contributing to your health.
Natural Ingredients
-
Bonito flakes
Bonito flakes contain inosinate, an essential component of Japanese dashi. The bonito is simmered and then smoked.
-
Kelp
Kelp contains glutamate, which gives dashi an elegant aroma and savoury taste. It is characterised by its gentle fragrance and rich umami.
-
Shiitake mushroom
Dried shiitake mushrooms contain guanylate. When combined with kelp, they provide an even deeper umami flavour.
Ready in 3 Minutes
Simply boil 400ml of water, add one pack, and simmer for 3 minutes. It’s pre-seasoned, so the taste is perfect every time.
Pro Tip: You can also tear open the pack and use the powder as a "Magic Spice" for stir-fries and pasta.
