Dashi, a type of soup stock/broth made by boiling ingredients to draw out their flavors, is an essential ingredient in Japanese cuisine and is used to enhance umami in dishes. It serves as the base for many Japanese soups, stews, and sauces and is considered one of the building blocks of Japanese cooking. This convenient and easy to use dashi powder includes all three umami enhancing amino acids in a perfect balance of katsuobushi (both “honkarebushi', smoked and fermented skipjack tuna, from Kagoshima and “arabushi”, the smoked precursor, from Yaizu), high-quality ma-konbu (“true” konbu) from Hokkaido, and earthy shiitake mushrooms.
