Fun Fact

Dashi is the backbone of Japanese cuisine. Unlike Western stocks that simmer for hours, dashi can be made in minutes and is prized for its light yet deeply savory character — thanks to natural glutamates found in bonito and seaweed.

How to Use This Product

1. Dissolve 1 sachet (5 g) in 500–600 ml of hot water for a quick soup or broth base.
2. Add directly to stir-fries, sauces, or simmered dishes to enhance flavor.

Questions & Answers

Is this dashi vegetarian or vegan?
No — it contains bonito (fish), so it is not suitable for vegetarians or vegans.

Can I use it in place of chicken or vegetable stock?
Yes, though the flavor is more seafood-forward. It works well in Asian dishes or wherever a boost of umami is welcome.

Storage?
