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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
