This powdered Dashi is used as base for Japanese fish stock Dashi. Making your own Dashi is quite a time-consuming job. Although the taste of a real freshly made Dashi of Bonito flakes and Kombu is of course better and fresher, this powder Dashi is ideal for a quick approach to the taste of fresh Dashi. Mix the powder with the right amount of water and enjoy a delicious cup of Japanese soup!
