Kayanoya Dashi, Original Dashi Stock Powder, Dashi Powder with Superb Flavor from Skipjack Tuna Flakes, Round Herring, Grilled Flying Fish and More, (8g Packets x 30)

Highly recommended Japanese soup base! This soup is very easy to cook and has a clean, naturally sweet flavor. The taste is light and balanced, not salty or overpowering, making it perfect for vegetable soups. It brings out the natural sweetness of vegetables and feels very comforting and healthy. Great for quick meals, especially if you want something warm, simple, and nourishing. I will definitely buy it again.

This is delicious. Just what I was hoping for. Dynamic flavor and convenient packaging. I still cold brew fresh kombu stock to mix with the powder for dashi. I personally feel this boost nutrition and flavor. Like the photos suggest even sprinkling it dry onto rice or in noodles is delicious. Way better than bonito flakes alone. Very impressive quality and taste. The value is worth the price in my opinion. One pouch will feed about four people for one light serving. One cup of water/or Kombu stock to one fourth of a pouch of powder. I boil the water or any type of stock, remove from the heat, then add the powder. Over cooking anything with dried fish can give a burnt taste so add it last kind of like finishing salt. I personally like the added texture of adding it directly to dishes. You get a more pungent flavor this way. If using strictly for clear stock I would double the ratio of powder per serving. Thus being one punch of powder will yield two servings of clear broth.

This is great for cooking. nice to see an amazon prime related Dashi for people who don't have an Asian grocery store nearby

Authentic, delicious and so worth it

Great tasting dashi! Love how it is not overpowering but adds so much depth and umami to the soups that I've tried it in. My friend who also enjoys cooking as a hobby recommended this dashi to me. He told me he used it to make Korean Galbi Tang and his family loved it! There are definitely less expensive alternatives which may be fine for quick and easy soups, but if you're taking over an hour to make something great and want to impress, then go with the good stuff.

I am new to dashi. I have used it once. It was great!

I am obsessed! This is such a huge well-worth-it upgrade from the popular common brand Ajinomoto. It produces clear, sediment free broth since the granules are securely sealed into a bag that's like tea and you just steep. 1.75 cups per pack. I usually make in bulk and freeze in 1/2 c portions in those silicone souper cubes things. This container flying fish as well and is super flavorful. You will not regret this as long as you are willing to pay premium prices. My mom, who is super cheap, only wants this brand too and the other brand is just back up.

Makes a very tasty broth. I use it for both Asian and American recipes. Makes a great foundation for seafood bisques and chowders. Due to the cost I reserve the packets for special recipes.
