Bonito dashi is one of the most important ingredients in Japanese cooking. This soup stock was traditionally made by stewing bonito fish flakes in water, and then filtering until the clear, seasoned liquid remained. Nowadays much of Japan gets their bonito dashi from easy-to-use sachets and granules, of which japancentre.com has an extensive range.
