Shimaya Dashino Moto Bonito Fish Stock 100g

If you need to use dashi stock for stews or soups, this is a great way to get it. Simply mix a sachet with boiling water and you're ready to go! My most frequent use for this is to make Ramen - adding miso paste or soy sauce to the stock will give a great tasting but quick and easy soup base. I've also used this in various meat or vegetable stews with great results. this is certainly worth trying and much quicker and simpler than making your own from scratch!

This is basically dried , smoked fish powder. However, it is a vital ingredient to add to the soup base for Ramen. Along with miso, it imparts a unique flavour which transforms noodles and vegetables into a very special healthy meal. Great price too and will only need to use half a sachet if making Ramen for two

Before, we used to cook with the smaller packaging of the exactly same item. We purchased this because we feel like the previous one is not gonna last for a week seeing how our son loves miso soup with dashi a little bit too much! The flavour is the decent, we like it. But this product came with bigger packets inside (10 grams, twice as many compared to the usual 5 grams we used to use). Somehow, it was just too much because we usually only cooks miso soup for 2 persons per eating (we have two kids but one of them is not really keen on soups). So if you seek for a dashi seasonings sachet that can suffice for around 4 people, by any means just buy this. But if you are like us, who eat soup on small portions, better buy the other item we told you about. Anyway, careful when pouring because the seasonings tend to be salty, just to give you heads up.

It’s such a good flavour base for almost anything. If you’re not familiar, don’t be put off by the scent of the powder. It smells really quite fishy however when mixed with water it takes on a deep savoury, almost meaty taste! I often sprinkle some into the water when boiling rice. It gives the rice a really good flavour!

Delicious!!! And authentic flavour. I am a repeat buyer and wouldn’t be without it. Perfect for noodles, soup bases and rice bowls. Highly recommended.

Absolutely fantastic for a quick dashi or other soup base. Very tasty and a lovely savoury flavour. All-in-all, an excellent product at a reasonable price.

The real deal. Adds depth of flavour to many dishes, particularly chicken udon soup which I've been trying to recreate at home, with pretty good results so far.

Dashi is THE basic japanese stock full of umami. This is part of the Japanese genius when it comes to cooking. This flavour doesn't exist anywhere else. You can make some great and extremely quick soup with miso, dashi and wakame. Add tofu and thinly sliced spring onions and it is even better. Be careful not to use too much. The portions are small and can extremely salty if you use a little too much.
