Hon Dashi (Soup Stock) 4.23 Oz.

This is a pantry staple for me !! If you need that umami base for a soup stock, or just make miso soup weekly like me, this is a game changer !! Will add so much umami and flavor. Very little is needed as it can salt your stock quick. Great quality and value for the price.

A classic flavor. It’s free-flowing and easy to use.

Been using this dashi stock for years now for udon. Great quality.

Works great. I use it for making miso soup.

Soooo delicious! This is full of flavor and if you don’t want the work of making your own dashi this is the answer to a full flavored broth!

There's almost no end to the uses for these granules. From a substitute for Bonito flakes when making miso soup to a flavor packed sprinkle of umami on you're favorite food. As a cook who enjoys making Asian recipes, I consider this as important as salt and pepper, and always keep it just as handy. Hondashi contains monosodium glutamate (MSG). While some people are turned off by MSG, they would usually be very surprised to find that many foods they consume are naturally packed with it! Foods such as mushrooms, tomatoes, cheese and even nuts naturally contain MSG. While a very small group of folks ARE 'msg intolerant', the vast majority of those who refuse to consume it should look into the most recent research. It's not the food equivalent to the 'boogy man' as once thought to be the case. I should also mention that the shelf life of this is very long. You only need to store it in an air-tight container (such as a zip-lock bag) and in a dark cool area. I keep mine in the refrigerator, sealed in a half pint Ball jar.

FIRST AND FOREMOST: I've cooked a pound of dry, shaved bonito flakes into broth. It's a delicious — and necessary — part of any Japanese soup or sauce. It's also very time consuming. THAT SAID: These instant, dissolvable, manageable granules add all that umami ocean-y goodness instantly and easily. I USUALLY USE IT IN SOUP: Could be a complex, homemade situation. Or just to add depth to miso soup packs at lunchtime. But I've also used it to add complexity and a little Japanese nuance to stir fry, braising sauce, panko coating, mashed potatoes and other vegetable dishes, and even as a glaze for grilled meat. MAYBE DON'T SERVE IT TO YOUR SOBO-CHAN: But I'm pretty convinced you and your friends will love it.

Easy to use and reasonable price. Great for Japanese dish and soup base.

I cheated and bought this as a pre-mix seasoning packet. Glad I did. It's sooooo good! Use it as a flavour base for soups, make dipping sauces, pour-on over rice or noodles, just...wow! This is an indispensible go-to for all sorts of wonderful things. Love the flavour, nicely balanced. Oh, and this is a seasoning somewhat parallel to boullion cubes. That's why it's used in so many ways. The other nice thing about this brand is that it is gluten-free...(which is so rare these days it seems), so you can eat this if you are gluten-intolerant as I am. Enjoy!

Ame el sabor y las presentaciones me sirve mucho para preparar katsudon.

Aprendí hacer miso soup y si no tiene este producto, no está al 100 %. Es el ingrediente que le da el sabor exquisito.

Been using this to make a Gyudon recipe I found from Aaron and Claire on YouTube and it’s made me want to see what else I can make with this and if I’d like true mirin
