Dashibuljong med Bonito - Pulverform, Shimaya, 50 g, 5 portionspåsar

Dashi is a hugely important ingredient in Japanese cooking, as it is what provides the flavour base for the vast majority of traditional Japanese dishes. Proper home-made dashi is made by allowing bonito fish flakes, kombu kelp seaweed, and/or other ingredients rich in umami to infuse in water. Nowadays many Japanese people prefer the convenience of powdered dashi. For a great range of dashi ingredients and instant dashi mixes, check out Japan Centre's Dashi & Noodle Stock section.
