What is dashi stock?

Dashi is a traditional Japanese stock made from ingredients like kombu (kelp), katsuobushi (bonito flakes), or shiitake mushrooms. It’s the essential base for many Japanese soups, sauces, and simmered dishes.

How do I use dashi in cooking?

Dashi is most commonly used in miso soup, noodle broths (like udon or soba), and simmered dishes such as nikujaga or oden. It provides a savoury umami base that enhances other flavours.

What types of dashi are available?

We offer a variety of dashi types including most of the following:

  • Bonito-based (Katsuobushi): Savoury and smoky
  • Kombu (kelp): Subtle and vegan-friendly
  • Shiitake mushroom: Earthy and rich
  • Blended dashi: Combines multiple umami sources for depth
Is dashi vegetarian or vegan?

Not all dashi is vegetarian. Bonito-based dashi contains fish, but kombu and shiitake-based versions are suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Look for clearly marked options or use our filters to find the right one.

Do I need to make dashi from scratch?

Not at all! While traditional dashi can be made from scratch, we offer convenient instant dashi granules, powders, and concentrated liquid forms that save time without compromising on flavour.

How should I store dashi stock?

Store unopened instant dashi in a cool, dry place. Once opened, reseal and use within the recommended timeframe. Liquid dashi concentrates should be refrigerated after opening.
