Mentsuyu (lit. “noodle broth”) is a commonly used seasoning found in numerous Japanese dishes including noodles, rice bowls, hot pots and as a dipping sauce. Made from a collection of some of Japan’s most iconic ingredients, it has a rich umami taste and is a convenient way to increase the depth of flavor in dishes. This mentsuyu is made using locally sourced ingredients in an unassuming sushi shop in the Itayado shopping street near Kobe called Shokaku Zushi.
