・[Essential Stock Base in Japanese Cuisine – Dashi] Dashi is the cornerstone of Japanese cooking and is used daily in miso soup, ramen, soba, katsudon, gyudon and more. This basic stock gives dishes a rich umami and depth of flavour. It has a long shelf life of about one year, making it convenient for everyday cooking.
・[Umami Stock Made Easy – Ready in 3 Minutes] Simply add 1 tbsp (10g) of dashi powder into 500ml of water, bring it to the boil, and leave it for 3 minutes. For a stronger flavour, you can use the powder directly as a seasoning.
・[Highly versatile] Perfect not just for noodles and miso soup, but also for simmered dishes, pasta sauces, rice balls, and salad dressings.
・[3 Types of Natural Ingredients] Made with carefully selected ingredients such as bonito flakes, kelp and shiitake mushrooms. No chemical seasonings such as MSG are used, resulting in a complex and deep umami.
・[Bonito from Yaizu, Shizuoka Prefecture] Yaizu City in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan, developed as a centre for offshore fishing during the Edo period. Today, it boasts an annual haul of about 150,000 tonnes of bonito. Thanks to its abundant resources and advanced production techniques, it has grown into Japan’s leading production area for high-quality bonito flakes.

I’ve been sprinkling this Tastrip Umami Crunch furikake over gimbap and poke bowls and really like it. It gives plain rice a lot more flavour without having to do much. The bonito and soy give it that savoury umami taste, and the sesame seeds add a nice bit of crunch.It doesn’t taste too salty or overpowering, which I prefer. I’ve also put it on noodles and even salad and it is delicious. It comes in a 40g pouch, so it doesn’t take up much room in the cupboard. Just remember to seal it properly once you’ve opened it so it doesn’t lose its crunch.
One of my favourite simple suppers is a bowl of miso soup and a small bowl of plain steamed rice. It's one of my ultimate comfort foods, especially if I'm feeling under the weather. When I got this furikake from Tastrip, I thought it would be great to use for this type of meal. Although, I was surprised by how sweet it is, to be honest.I make my own furikake blends, all with different flavour profiles but the one ingredient I never feel the need to use loads of is sugar. Yet this is first on Tastrip's ingredients list (sugar, soyabeans, dried bonito flakes, salt, sesame seeds, mirin, soy sauce, kelp), which means that it's in a greater quantity than any of the others.That said, this is not a bad product at all. Granted, I would prefer to have more katsuobushi (dried bonito flakes) and kombu (kelp), plus nori (dried seaweed) and aonori (laver seaweed), and a bit of sesame oil... but then it would taste like my own seasonings, which defeats the object of trying out a bought product! And despite being a little too much on the sweet side, I've nevertheless been enjoying it.However, despite the listing describing this as furikake, it's actually not! What it is - as the label clearly states - is zakuzaku (which means 'crunchy'). This is a crunchy soyabean topping, rather than a furikake flavour bomb, and I really do enjoy the added crunch it gives my food.Although only weighing in a 40g, this packet packs a punch, and every mouthful of rice with this is fantastic. As well as rice, I've been enjoying this stuff on scrambled eggs, juk (Thai rice porridge), and as of last night, atop avocado bruschetta. Oh my!Price-wise, this costs £6.39, which is probably about right for this type of product. And since I've almost run out of the pack I was sent (trust me, it doesn't last long), I'm going to have to buy some more!

Hinweis vorab: Ich habe diesen Artikel über das Amazon Vine Programm kostenlos erhalten, was meine objektive Bewertung jedoch nicht beeinflusst.Das Furikake kam zunächst einmal sehr gut und sicher verpackt bei mir an. Gerade bei Gewürzen ist das ja immer wichtig, damit das Aroma vollständig erhalten bleibt und auf dem Transportweg nichts aufplatzt oder ungewollt herausrieselt.Geschmacklich hat mich die Mischung absolut überzeugt – das Gewürz ist einfach richtig lecker. Die Kombination aus den Bonitoflocken, Soja und Sesam bringt eine sehr runde, würzige Note mit sich, die hervorragend zu verschiedensten Gerichten passt. Was dieses Topping für mich aber ganz besonders macht, ist die hervorragende Textur. Es ist im Mund unheimlich knusprig und gibt dem Essen dadurch einen richtig schönen Crunch, der beim Kauen Spaß macht.Abseits davon lässt sich das Gewürz leicht aus der Verpackung streuen und vielseitig für einfache Reisgerichte, Bowls oder Salate verwenden. Dass hier auf MSG verzichtet wurde, nehme ich als netten Randaspekt wahr. Die 40g-Menge ist handlich und reicht für einige Portionen gut aus.
