This new gluten free tamari dashi, produced by Hokusai, is a refined Japanese plant-based stock, prized for its deep, clean umami taste. It is crafted using an innovative technique known as Kinpaku Shiitake (Gold Leaf Shiitake).

In this unique process, shiitake mushrooms are shaved extremely thin, similar to katsuobushi. The delicate shavings resemble gold leaf in both appearance and lightness, inspiring the name Kinpaku Shiitake. This ultra-fine cut allows the shiitake to release maximum flavour, creating a dashi that is rich, aromatic and beautifully balanced.

Combined with naturally gluten-free tamari soy sauce, this dashi offers a fantastic alternative to fish-based stock. Ready to use and highly versatile, it works beautifully as a subtle seasoning, enhancing depth and umami while reducing the need for added salt. Simply add a splash to your risotto, pasta or gravy for a serious boost of flavour.

Available in 500ml.
