A convenient plant based form of dashi, this traditional Shinmaya powdered kombu dashi soup stock uses Hokkaido's finest cultivated kelp. An essential ingredient in Japanese cooking, dashi stock is used as a base for many dishes like soups, stews, and sauces.

Shinmaya is a well-known brand in Japan for producing high-quality authentic dashi products. Their dashi powder is instant, meaning you get the deep, rich flavour of dashi without the time-consuming process of boiling and steeping kombu to satisfy your everyday soup stock needs.

Kombu is a seaweed harvested primarily from the cold waters around Hokkaido, Japan. It is rich in umami, the savoury taste that forms the backbone of Japanese cuisine.

Kombu naturally contains glutamic acid, an amino acid responsible for umami, which also acts as a natural flavour enhancer.

Unlike fish-based dashi, this convenient and versatile dashi powder has a more subtle flavour and is completely plant based, making it ideal for vegetarian or vegan dishes.
