Shimaya Bonito Dashi Soup Stock Powder 100g

A granulated bonito dashi stock powder from Shimaya, one of Japan's long-established dashi producers. The blend uses bonito powder and bonito extract as its base, seasoned with a small amount of sugar, salt, and yeast extract, and enhanced with flavour nucleotides E627 and E631 to sharpen the umami character. It dissolves quickly in hot water to produce a clean, rounded fish dashi with the warm, savoury depth that is the foundation of Japanese everyday cooking. One teaspoon in around 200–300ml of hot water makes a straightforward dashi for miso soup, udon broth, simmered dishes, and sauces. It is equally useful for seasoning rice dishes, adding a quiet savoury note to stir-fries, or deglazing a pan after cooking fish. The 100g box is a practical size for regular home use and keeps well once opened if stored in a dry place.
